NZD 12172009

Tuatara
The fill light is a bit bright in this one and with a more advanced software I could probably do something about it.  I like it anyway.  The texture of his skin, the shadow on his head and the size of this foot relative to his head.  I think he could readily be made into a cartoon character, but has too much dignity in person.

Not surprising that Charlotte, queen of designs containing lizards, would love this photo!

I'm pretty sure, from the photographers I've been talking with lately, that once highlights in a photo are blown out, the detail in those areas is lost. That doesn't mean you couldn't painstakingly recreate it using detail from other parts of your image. But it's painstaking.

Trying to shut up now.....
