Lizard Belly, Desert Spiny Lizard – Sceloporus magister
Reptiles pose amazing patterns and colors that can only be seen if you look with a macro vision. These are the belly scales of a male ready for matting. These colors are true and the blur look is the actual double scaling of each scale. When viewed with my lens only 2cm from the subject the animal becomes an art form that most people do not have the opportunity to appreciate in a living animal.
