Description My parents gave me a new telephoto lens for Christmas and I ran around trying it out. The focus is much better than the other lens I was using, and I can capture the dragon's eyes much sharper than before.

This is Squirt.

Shes absoloutely beautiful and the sharpness of the photo is brilliant! I love how much her eye just 'ops', i tried a couple of photos with my beardies but when i (eventually!) managed to get them to stay in one place i couldn't quite get the photos to show just how beautiful beardies eyes really are. :3

How many Beardies do you currently have?

Yeah! I love my new macro lens. Hard to believe the shot was taken through glass!

I've taken many shots through glass (museums and aquaria leave you no choice) and they usually turn out quite good if you can get very close to the glass and it isn't too dirty.

I have problems with reflections a lot...

marble911 In reply to HeatherTelesca [2007-08-12 07:51:36 +0000 UTC]

It always depends on the lighting and the angle which you are taking the picture from. I sometimes have to move around a lot and try different angles but it's usually possible to find a good one with no reflections. Also the closer the lens is to the glass, the less noticeable reflections are (I usually have the lens touch the glass). If that doesn't work, a polarising filter might help you to deal with the reflections, but it also swallows some of the light, so you'd have to use a slightly longer shutter speed or larger aperture.
