Hawksbill close-up. What lens do you choose in Komodo ? ... by Christian Nielsen
Hawksbill close-up.
What lens do you choose in Komodo ? Difficult choice. However even with a macro set-up you could do something interesting on a typical wide angle subject. Hope you like it.
Olympus E330, 50mm Macro, single Ikelite DS125 Strobe.

A nice "linguado lunado". That's it's name in portuguese.
It was quite calm and it was possible to approach it slowly and take this shot.
It was over a rock, it had just swimmed up to it a minute ago and I spotted it.
