Either thats a smoking hot gecko... or your Photography Skills are getting awesome... :)
I am going to settle with (c) all of the above :) great shots and nice gecko!
Yes its a program you would have to buy (not too cheap either) but there are a few free one that can get you the same results. Gimp is one. Not sure about others, but I know there are more out there.
Don't be scared of it!! :) thats a great setup. Nice lens too... I have one VR lens and love shooting with it (70-300 VR). To be quite honest, most of my magic happens after the shot was taken in PhotoShop :)
You have great composition... great subject... things will come to you soon enough!!!... regardless, you have great shots, I enjoyed them, and to me, thats all I want out of a photo, is someone (and it can be only one) to enjoy it!!! (and that one, can even be just me :) ).
What Nikon do you...
So the clutch mate popped out today... 2 days later :) I hope to get some good photos of him tomorrow... and soon both when they get out of their first "change of clothes" :).
The second one seems to have come out a nice flaming choco-semi strip-iquin! :) (hehe)
I would say that little guys has some Pizzazz for sure!! very nice, love the soft deep tones it has while maintaining some nice contrast with the lighter areas!! Very cool and nice shots!!!
Yeah.. thanks! I am going to go with an old ritual... keep the first of a species hatched!!! these are the 2 of the first ever clutch I have hatched out of R. ciliatus. :)
