  1. Have you played in this photo with the MACRO option of your camera?
    I'm asking that because the Lizard's head is focused and the tail not.

    Nice shoot.

  2. Suisso: You are right. I used the macro mode.

  3. Macro.. exposure.. focused.. light.. zoom.. It seems to me that you are now at the upper level of fotography enthusiasts.

  4. I normally don't like photo with flash used, but this one is beautiful. A little tip: I would have gone easy with the flash "Maybe flash through a card-board or difuser" to avoid the dark shadows.

    The DoF is perfect!

  5. Hassan: Thank you very much for the tip. In fact the flash is too strong. I'm considering, on the long term (it's not cheap), purchasing a Nikon flash, since I'm currently using the built-in one which is very limited.

  6. Meanwhile, you can make a home-made diffuser, check this out http://zedomax.com/blog/2009/11/04/photography-hack-how-to-make-a-flash-diffuser-with-old-film-canister/ or just cut a white plastic and paste it on your flash, but the method above might be better because you can take it off whenever you need to. Or just google "how to make a camera flash diffuser"
