TAKE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX

Monday's Critters
Karma Chameleon!!

This is the 'common' variety and this particular specimen was around two feet in length.  That darkening to match the trunk was happening as I took the photograph.  I have seen them in yellow and also orangey-red colouring also.  Not many as big as this though.

Taken with the 'Nik' on standard auto everything and lens extended to about 3x optical zoom.

TAKE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO

By no means a brilliant photograph, this still has appeal in a romantic sort of way.  I was exercising the 'Nik' to see what it could do.  

This fountain is seen through the naked fence from my window over on the hotel side.  Thus the slight fuzziness is from the chicken wire immediately in front (5 metres), coupled with the full extension of opt and digital zoom.

Wings on Wednesday -  YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.




















Through the haze gazing, on extended wing lazing, suspended and free, a kite's life for me!
Taken with the 'Nik' on 'extended lens amazing'!!!

Write a caption (not more than 50 words). ... "Shall I whisper to thee sweet nothings?..."
Taken with the 'Nik' on macro and exposure stopped down a notch to compensate for midday sun.
