Photographing a baby iguana

OK.  My last coupe of posts were a tease.  Here you can see that Julie has found a baby iguana exposed and posing on top of a driftwood log.  Usually we see baby iguanas under the branches and leaves around our condo building.

This little iguana must be brave to stand his ground even when large people are close by and pointing camera lenses at him.

This photo also shows Julie's dedication to getting a good photo. Julie has had several knee and ankle surgeries.  This low crouch might be good for a camera angle, but it cannot feel good on the knees.

This week we are showing photos of the Atacama desert in the Andes Mountains of northern Chile.  It is a unique landscape.

    A good photographer sacrifices for a good shot!

    This is a study in concentration.

    At one time, I could do that but I would fall over if I tried that stance now. The little critter is looking right at her! I bet she got some good close ups.

    The little iguana is playing a dangerous game, so brightly green and so exposed.
