Gimme a smile!

I'm told that it's hard to get good bug pics with the 60mm lens
because you have to get too close (compared with the 90, 100, or 105).
So, I decided to go for bigger game.

It's not as sharp as it could be; I wish I'd used a tripod!

Great macro of something left over from the Jarassic era.

You mean a tripod to hold the gecko ;-) It pretty good for handheld anyway.

i definitely would want to use something longer to be further away from this fella. :P

Not too bad hand held for 1/13 sec
Tripod is the way though
I have to force myself to carry and use one

This is an eyeful, but is it a self-portrait?
