Like the lizards.

How did you get so close, they are usually very timid ?

Thank you

Well... try try try. Very often they run away, but sometimes not. Or let you take a few shots before they do.

It seems to work best when you approach them very slowly... without any fast movements.

The Close-Up shot of the head is actually 1:1 with the 60mm macro... so really very close...

I think they are also not all the same... some are very shy, others a bit less.

What definitely scares them are shadows, noises, fast movements...

I just try to avoid all that and hope for the best ^^
