Lizard in the rain · 10:22 PM

It's raining in Brisbane at the moment. I went down to the suburban creek near our house and saw this lizard sitting on a old drum in the creek.

K100D Super. ISO 800. 1/500s. Pentax-A 70-200/F4 @ 200mm FL & F8. 100% crop - I couldn't get close enough to fill the frame.

Thank you for your encouragement, Atindra.

I had a look at your gallery and liked your shots too. What field do you do scientific work in?

Thanks Neil. Sorry, I don't know. I'm not a herpetologist. I believe the lizards are commonly called "water dragons".

Thanks Dan

I am heading Nth later in the month... Cairns and Port Douglas.

Hope to get some nice scenic shots.

Atindra, I must have been about 4m/13'. (Has India gone metric?)
