Fatso.

Fatso is the second largest (approx.10 inches nose to tail) of three blue-tongued lizards who reside in the walls of my house.

He came for cake crumbs and posed for a few seconds while I grabbed the M9, unfortunately it had the 28mm lens on it at the time, so this is a 100% crop and a tad soft.

Dee nice shot , not easy to shoot

Have you a tri (or mono)pod ? may be better with a 90 tele like 90 ME :)

Henry, thanks for your perceptive comment. For sure there would have been many ways in which this shot could have been improved (though I never use a tripod)

....but I was a bit lucky to catch Fatso at all, he is quite shy and very quick to take off if a human appears. He certainly wasn't going to give me time to change lenses!

Interesting shot Dee.

I can see why you named him Fatso. Looks like life is going well for him. Fast shots are so hard to take of animals that are shy. You did well.

 

Thanks Bill, it's just a "fun" shot really. I came out the kitchen door and saw him relaxing in that little bit of sunlight, so I scooted (quietly) inside and grabbed

the M9 which happened to have the 28 on it.

"He" may well be (for all I know) an expectant mother and not a boy lizard with a weight problem, only time will tell.
