Tamron 70-300mm and posing female.
This photo was taken with the cheap Tamron 70-300mm lens, handheld at 300mm. It's the sharpest photo I have taken handheld at 300mm.
The photo is of a female water dragon, that I haven't named yet. She love eating sardines. 100% crop (if that makes sense) 
And here is the same image, but showing all of the dragon that was in the shot. I know that technically it could be cropped better, but I like this.  Last edited by Potatis on Tue Nov 15, 2005 6:56 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Nice shot... for a moment there I was wondering where the photo of Genista was.... then I realised the female was the dragon. Pretty sharp there for 300, I know my Nikon 70-300G rarely takes sharp shots at 300 (or really I don't take sharp shots). Looks like your reptilian friends are well feed.
That second shot is a great shot in my opinion, would have liked to see just a bit more below the foot but good comp overall.
Sardines  That's how you keep the other "tourist" away while taking photos The bad breath 
Brilliant shot Doug.

Water dragons can be a bit shy, but you have nailed this OK....... great shot........maybe looking for a feed.......

Tiger Lily it is!
Thanks Chris.
Thanks big pix. The dragons I photograph are not shy. They come to me because I feed them. Edgar sits beside me when I sit on a rock, and when I walk around taking photos, he follows me like a dog. Of course he doesn't love me, he just wants food. There are three that come to me. Edgar, Mr Big-green-fellow (Mr Big), and Tiger Lily. There's several others that keep a distance, but don't run away. It's so easy to photograph them because the ones who are used to me are not at all shy.
LostDingo, hehe other times it's banana, and one other occasion it was dog food. I don't feed dog food anymore because I read somewhere it was not easy for them to digest and may not be good for their liver if they keep eating it.  I think the dog food smells worse anyway.
Thanks Bob.
Thanks Slider.
Thanks Craig. I don't think I photograph Genista enough. Doug C.
Excellent shotshere Doug, esp the 2nd crop, the Tamron lens is a cheapie but a goodie, it's the photographer's skills that count in the end, not the lens. Max

Max, Thanks for your comment, I appreciate what you said.
Craig, I agree. After posing for some shots, she seemed to want me to hurry up and give her some food. Thanks for your comment spartikus. My lens came with my camera, so I guess I paid for it in a way. I know it's cheap to buy though. It's a sharp lens if you want to zoom in on things that don't move much. Great on a tripod. It's slow to focus and needs decent light if you aren't using a tripod. But if lighting is good, like in these photos, and you have time to focus, the results can be excellent.
mic hehe, these photos were taken by Sydney Harbour! There's lots of great wildlife near where I live. Especially when you consider I live 5 mins from Taronga Zoo.  Doug C.

Thanks Peter.
#2 & #3 are the best. I posted #1 to show how the photo looked at 100%. I really liked the look of it at the huge size, but of course I can't post that here. Doug C.
Really really nice Potatis
The water dragons I come across are so so shy. Great work, no 2 is far and away the best."The good thing about meditation is that it makes doing nothing respectable"
