every once in a while i like to play around with my camera, learn a new setting or two, and there's no better place to practice than my yard...especially in the morning when everything is still covered with dew.
warning: objects in lens are closer than they appear.
so i'm looking thru my camera zoom lens at a lizard on the fence, trying to steady my hand and focus. i was already in close proximity, so with my zoom lens, i was right up against that lizard. i was watching him intensely and he was intensely watching me...or so i thought. in a split second he disappeared behind the fence and came back out with a HUGE cockroach in his mouth. scared me to death. blech. yuck. i almost dropped my camera. it's safe to say i didn't get the shot.
it was a little too close for comfort.

Great pics! I need to upgrade my camera, the pictures just aren't HD enough :/ I had no idea lizards ate roaches, the roach I'd assume would be bigger than the lizard! at least that's how they are in NY lol
i do the same thing! this morning i was playing around with my camera and the telescopic lens!
your photos are really pretty!

I should probably take the time and play with my camera some more - you know, when I am not in the middle of a shoot. We had some technical difficulties this past weekend.
