The Lizard King

Dead Horse Point State Park, UT

Luckily for me, fellow PBase photographer Sam Rua is not only an extraordinary photographer, he is also an expert reptile charmer. After both of us took photos of this guy on the ground, Sam was able to capture him and then release him on this tree. The lizard, being a professional lizard model, knew just where to go and just how to pose.

Really great shot! So... how much did you guys have to pay that gecko to pose just like that???

It was certainly worth the effort although maybe not worth getting bitten. He looks amazing and in a perfect position. Excellent dof for perfect separation. ~V~

That turned out great. You've got to post the one where this fellow was exacting revenge on me.

A handsome fellow! Looks great on the branch and the red rocks in the background.

A SUPER image Dan, even without the Lizard. It is a big + though. Good DOF.
