I finally shot the guy
« on: July 25, 2008, 04:45:09 PM »
with my camera that is  grin

This iguana is about 4 feet long total from head to tale.  He is on my dock every other day.  Perched on a dock post, I couldn't resist the photo op.  There is a second much smaller one (the size of a pet iguana) that is also on the dock frequently.  I assume the smaller one is the female and this guy is the male, but frankly I have no clue.  They're probably the offspring of the offspring of somebody's pet let loose long ago.

(apologies if there is a double post - I'm having trouble uploading the image)

Originally shot at 8 something megapixels.  It's a Konika-Minolta Digital SLR cam.

SLR makes a huge difference I've found in picture quality.

That looks like the Samuel L. Jackson of iguanas.

I think I'll try to take photos of some of the other wildlife that shows up in my yard.  We also get a lot of huge colorful parrots.
