Bacon Lettuce Photo

by Brian

A lizard on a lizard, love this juxtaposition and its really a lucky shot considering the narrow depth of field. I try my best to keep the eyes in focus and this time I got lucky! Taken at the Honolulu Zoo this past May. 1/250 sec at f/5.0 with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM on Canon 40D at ISO400. Cropped and post processed in Lightroom/Adobe Photoshop CS4.1

For other Honolulu Zoo photos, check out this gazing lizard, this beautiful pair of cranes, and this poky friend.

I’m not sure exactly which reptile this was, but this photo was taken at the Honolulu Zoo’s Reptile exhibit. I like the sharpness of the eye and surrounding area, and the “look” on his face was interesting. You can see more detail in this larger version.

If you like this photo, you might also like watching other Honolulu Zoo’s residents such as cranes and cactuses.

This photo was taken during our vacation to Hawaii while we visited the Honolulu Zoo (back when we lived in SF). There was a garden maintained by volunteers with lots of nice plants and flowers. I was especially intrigued with the large cacti. I have no idea what this cactus is called but the flowers and colors were nice and I liked the contrasting textures. It’s pretty neat that something so “dangerous” with sharp thorns everywhere can have such beautiful blossoms. Neat juxtaposition.
