Bearded Dragons

[UniPol]

Visiting my son yesterday, I'd thought I'd try out the 400D again on his collection of creatures. He keeps snakes, spiders, lizards and so on. The 400D is by far the best Canon DSLR yet having owned a 300D and 350D (keeping for astrophotography). These shots were taken with the standard 18-55mm lens through glass and as I mentioned in my last post of the Orb spider, this particular lens must have been made right. The red glow in the pics are from the heat lamp which make the shots somewhat more dramatic. They also change colour depending on their mood.

As a matter of interest, the bearded dragon's thorns are not hard and sharp as they would appear. They feel like rubber toys and are very placid, he lets them roam around the house!

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks for your kind comments folks, my son will be delighted to hear that his little beardies are well thought of. I had the same thoughts as Matt, life is amazing and for some reason these little fellows evoke a unique feeling of wonder.

I forgot to mention that he has a seven foot long Bredli python which also roams the house but not at the same time as the little beardies, apparently the Bredli would just love to have them for dinner :(

Cheers,

Steve
