p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wall Lizards from Corsica in Close-Up


I believe all the lizards I photographed in Corsica were Wall Lizards, probably all the Tyrrhenian Wall Lizard Podarchis tiliguerta, including the one (a female trying to eat a huge cricket) previously posted:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1336729/0

These were on rocks the base of a cliff in a mountain pass, adjacent to a roadside water pool.

I don't recall whether the tongue of the last one was protruding as I pressed the shutter release but I had to give additional sharping to define it.

EM-1, Kiron 105 macro, 1/400, 1/640, 1/640, ISO 400, harsh sunlight, hand-held.

Thanks, both.

I had a dilema over the posting order. I knew the tongue-out one would have more appeal but I see it as having less technical merit.

Thanks. It seems to be leading by a tongue.

It's possibly worth mentioning here that, to maximise sharpness (full IS on), I would have set f11 on the lens and ISO 400 (the highest I nomally use, to minimise noise), a combination to give sufficiently-high shutter speeds via aperture priority.

Thanks, David and Pete,

I am getting very fond of that lizard.

A general point about colour and contrast. The lizards themselves do something about that. Both increase when the new skin is exposed by a moult.

Thanks.

There are several species, with different, but not very different, patterns and amounts of green.

Fun and interesting post...I know that wherever I go and find lizards I am enthralled by them and find myself taking lots of photos but never doing anything with them....thanks for posting these.
