These are cute little creatures. Very interesting to watch, trouble is, there quite niffty. This is the best of the 3 I took for focus. I'm still learning
Got told off for the automatic flash from my son, they're his.

Shooting through glass is always tricky but you've done a fairly good job, here. They're not super-sharp but the cute pose just about makes up for that. Putting the tank in the sunshine is probably the best way to get more light without worrying your son with the flash. I'm sure it's possible to use flash in a way that doesn't disturb animals such as these; Angi Nelson has loads of amphibian photos (not the same, I know) in her profile that were taken with flash so maybe she can give you some advice if you ask nicely.
Dave.
As I not able to see the detail I am geussing that it is..
I think a tighter crop would be nice...
I would cropall the shadow out so it just underneath there home ..
The top side is quite dull so a crop above Gecko then crop front right side where that shadow is..
That should balance image...
I hope you understand me..
Dave
Thanks Dave. It was one of those grab the camera instances where I just needed to get the photo before they did sommat else It was auto flash. If I'd got to grips with my gun could have put the difuser on I will look at Angi's portfolio
Yes, that is a good idea to crop Gets rid of the glass partition between cages. Thanks guys
I took a dragon lizard without flash and thro glass, it came up ok do you shoot in raw? Sorry for the question but I am playing with a new iPad and for the moment learning myself or I would check your info - good to see you use a Nikon
Next question what software are you using to edit your pics?
Ann
No, I haven't shot in Raw. I've got the software that came with Nikon and I also use the computers phot software. Had a Nikon D7000 course last month, daughter did their beginners course (I think) she's got Nikon D5100 I'm such a novice with digital.
