Face to face

Bearded Dragons are cool. I know they're pretty common, but they make such great subjects because they sit still and look right at the camera lens no matter where you move, unless you preoccupy them with food. I spotted this on on  walk this morning when I went to collect some fresh plants and tadpole snails for my fish tank.

Both pictures were taken with my 18-55mm lens @55mm focal length, f5.6 and ISO 100. I wanted to use my 17-40mm but there was no way I'd be able to get close enough to the tree in the first place. Still, I'm pretty happy with these 2 photos since my 18-55 is just a kit lens.

Enjoy!

Backyard Warfare #2

These Max Force blasters are not only heaps of fun and great for defense against zombie attacks, but their colour schemes suit well with de-saturated backdrops. Like the last Max force blaster, I spent some time screwing around with different photos. I might do a night time long exposure shot again but I'll have to wait until I get a night off work.
