Nephrurus wheeleri

The other day I had the pleasure of photographing some of these stunning creatures (in captivity). I thought I'd post one of the better pics here. Unfortunately I didn't manage to find any in the wild when I was over in WA last year.

Geeez mate you should hold photography courses. How many flashes did you use?

 

[smacdonald]

Thanks for the compliment! Do you know any businesses that run reptile-related courses? Maybe I should talk to them about setting something up...

How many flashes did you use?

Just my normal 7.

Hi Ryan,

I have some more pics, but none of them are as good as the one I've posted. I really like how the shallow depth of field means you can hardly see what the photo is of.

He's a Nephrurus wheeleri cinctus.

I just can't get over how amazing of a photographer you are Stew. You should definitely start giving everybody advice when they put photo's up on APS. Whether they asked for it or not.

I love you,

Jonno

ok, ok, what camera etc. do you use.. and how much? i want one..

 

[smacdonald]

what camera etc. do you use

A Nikon D200, Nikkor 105mm macro lens and a couple of flashes off to the side. I need the external flashes because I stop way down to f/3.8. I don't know how much they go for at the moment. I think my camera was about $2000 when I bought it a few years ago.
