One of those lucky moments - I was walking looking for birds to shot and heard the noise of leaves and turned around and saw this lizard which just caught the playing mantis.
Shot this at a local Nature Reserves with the G1/45-200 combo.

Wow, I wish we had green lizards that ate their meal and stared at the camera, great set of photographs with the major focus being on the eye of the lizard, in the right place at the right time with the right camera and lens, brilliant.
I would indeed expect your dragonflies to behave differently, in this country they have to be able to withstand cooler conditions which means that to conserve energy on those cooler days they will sit around more. If I was to try and photograph such things in Singapore I would have to learn new tricks.

Thanks for viewing and your kind coemnts. Yes it is all about being at the right place at the right time!
if you are ever coming to this part of the world please let me know and we can go shoot dragonflies together.
Oh, I have sold off the G1/45-200 and missed that long reach. I am now banging that the 100-300 will be better.


cheers and have a nice day

It would be good to be shown your photography site, there certainly seems to be some interesting stuff to photograph there. Many thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind if I do start to travel again.

Barrie

Thanks I will add my Flickr site to my postings.
Other than dragonflies there are birds, butterflies, insects, spiders to shoot. Landscape here is so so. Hope to see you on of these days.

A few more lizards to share.

Hi ric, you can't complain that your lizards don't co-operate, those are great shots.

Barrie

Hi Barrie, thanks for dropping by. Yes I can't complain - very fortunate!

cheers

That beautiful creature's body reminded me of a slice of smoked salmon on six legs!

Great shot, Ric! Nice to see you here. Just ordered an E-PL1

These are absolutely fantastic, Ric. I don't remember seeing them on Flickr.
