wildlife The Perenti (a species of goanna) is Australia's largest lizard

From my first outing with my new Sigma 10-20mm. This young Perenti

(~1.5m long) was only a few inches from the front of my lens in the

reptile house of the Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney, Australia. By

placing the lens hood against the glass I managed to eliminate most of

the reflections.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers,

Mike

I was looking at this picture of yours in the anonymous rating area and I was wondering either if you put an artificial background or if it was the original one. So you narrative makes all clear. It's a weird picture (actually it's a weird animal) your techique to put the lens against the glass works very well as in past pictures and the sigma 10-20 could be e avery interesting accessory to have. (5/6 anon).

Mike, the distortion created by being so close to Mr Perenti makes him seem like a character from Graeme Base's Animalia. Nicely done, Margo.

Amazing shot and fantastic color Mike.....I think you and your new lens have become the best of friends in a very short time.....love this one!!!! Fantastic detail!!!

Wow...great color and comp....I like how the goanna's head seems to be popping out at you....great shot!
