Leaping Lizards!

Not really leaping, at least not until they got sick of me. I shot these guys on my recent trip to Kauai. I used my 80-200 2.8 combined with the amazing but weird Canon 500D closeup lens. Adding the closeup lens gives a very limited working distance. It seems about 1.5-3ft. And an extremely shallow DOF. Especially at 200mm.

Nice series. I especially like No2 with the yellow heliconia and the shadow of the anole.

Great set! Number two and number three are my favorites.

Thanks for the comments guys!

For #2 when we saw him he was just a shadow on the leaf. The little dude cruised over to the edge before I got my camera on him. I was bummed I missed the shot of just his shadow on the big green leaf. I snapped only 2 shots before he leaped off the leaf onto a tree.
