Thats probly the best beardie pic ive seen yet danielsan, the harbour ones a stunner too! very nice and impressive!

 

[Fuscus]

Beardies are one of the easist reptiles to photograph. The let you get close, move around to get the light and look spectacular. This was taken with the cool-pix 900

 

[danielsan]

Cool I like that one fuscus. U speak the truth man My beardie is a good sport much better subject than the maccies

 

[Fuscus]

But for an easy to get spectacular image you can't beat a wild sleepy displaying. HINT : as soon as you touch a sleepy they won't display so don't touch them

 

[instar]

Wow! that shingle is a beauty too! What made it display? just you nearby with cam in his face? lol

 

[Fuscus]

If you catch a sleepy in the open they normally display. You can provoke them a little by moving your hand over them. Careful they can and do bite, rarely break the skin though - no real teeth but it can hurt

 

[Fuscus]

But sometimes the effect can be quite grotesque

 

[instar]

lol thats an awesome shot, open wide! bit scary, should be titled "the last thing a roach see's"!

Hey Fuscus, whats your website again?
I love looking at your pictures mate!

 

[Fuscus]

Its down at the moment I think the server suffered an intrustion as I couldn't log on as root ( *nix heads will know what I am taking about). So I did a rebuild and then nothing worked. I have to get my finger out and fix it up properly.

 

[sobrien]

yes you will! lol. Let us know when it's back up.
Cheers, Si

I took this one with an Olympus C740 Ultra Zoom Digital. I love my camera - it is easy to use, has a great zoom and didn't cost a total fortune!!

Fuscus - loved that first Shingleback shot, thought the car in the background was very poignant!

And Danielsan, that harbour shot was a beauty! Did it take long to set up, and did it require manual adjustment of the shutterspeed etc? (I know it would with film)
