Today's neon dragon

Dalantech

I was excited at lunch today because the weather was perfect -not too hot and a light breeze. Sweet. By the time I got off of work a storm front was coming in, the wind had picked up, and the light was gone. But I stopped at the lake anyway switching to manual mode on my Canon 20D (1/250, F8, ISO 100) and taking full control of the light (MT-24 flash set to -1 1/3 EV) this is what I got with my 100mm macro. As always: Minimal post processing and no cropping...



Moving in closer...



Closer still -this next shot is at life size.



Here is a 100% crop of the eye in that 1:1 image:
