I'm going to keep practicing to get better at this because I just love these guys.

They do make great subjects to photograph. Nice work.

great shots

Very cool. The spherical surface helps.

Great pictures. How much better are you going to get by practising?

Actually the corner of a table, he was hanging on the side and I flipped the photo.

Aww thanks. But I've seen what people can do and there is plenty of room for improvement! Guess that's part of the fun.

Wow, that first one is fantastic in terms of pose

I'd like to say he was co-operative but, it was pure luck.

The first shot in particular is very good - you captured those round eyes perfectly!

Thank you so much. That one appealed to me too!

Lovely photos - I amsure that a lot of patience was required. These guys are very cute and difficult to photograph well. What did you use for lighting?

Exactly: practising to get better is perhaps the best part of fun in photograpy. It may take time (for myself at least) but every step forward is a victory.

Thank you. Natural light, nothing else. And yes, he always seemed to know when the camera was pointed at him and rappelled away.
