Skink and Toad

raian · June 1, 2006

I believe this first critter is called a "skink" that's what I've always heard them called anyway... if anyone knows the proper name for it let me know. The tree had a hard patch of light on it, but I didn't have much time to compose the shot as Mr. Skink was on the move.

The toad is for kdog

(thanks for explaining the difference between frogs and toads)

Nice shots, Raian. The skink is cool; I've never seen one in the wild.

And a toad shot just for me? :encore

Cheers,

Nice going Raian,
seems like you got pretty close to the toad. did you use a macro lens for this shot?

Thanks for the comments

:

I used my 18-55 for the toad. I don't have any macro lens... yet

Someday I will as I do like to shoot close and get all those little details in the skin and structure of bugs and slithery things:D

Interesting. How do they grill up? Some nice texture in that last shot.
