Just finished going through all 3 threads mate, and every single photo is brilliant. Stunned at some of the beauty (and ugliness!) of the creatures in the reptile world.. but they are all amazing.

Good to see a few Aussie animals made it into the mix!

EDIT: Oh, and I love the tanks they're in - amazing. Wish I could have tanks like that (and animals like that haha)

Awesome photos. Can I ask what type of camera you have. I'm looking to upgrade and want an SLR, not sure which brand though

Thanks for the nice comments!

Can I ask what type of camera you have.

I used a Nikon D90 with the normal Kit-lens 18-105 mm.

As there was no flash allowed I took most of the pics at 3200 ISO without noise reduction.
Some shots are even taken at 6400 ISO and the D90 did a good job with relative noise free pics.
I can truly recommend it.

Here's a great website.
Take a look at the camera reviews by Gordon Laing from New Zealand and check out
the video tour on the different camera models.

The modern DSLR-cameras are all excellent cameras and you can take great pictures with all of them.
It's more important that you get good lenses and if you want a great performing lens
I can recommend the "Sigma 70mm F2,8 EX DG MAKRO" lens.

If you often shoot in "available-light" and at High ISO, the Nikon D700 and the
Canon EOS 5D Mark II are both excellent performers. But unfortunately they aren't the cheapest cameras.
