All of the shots I've posted so far were shot with slide film.
Nice Shots Tom. Do you add any blur in post?

Macro is the easiest thing to nail down for film. I shot everything on manual mode and flash on manual. Then you can figure out on one roll of film what magnification takes what f-stop.
Then you know next time that 1:1 is f16, 1:2 is f11, etc. Just threw these numbers out there by the way. But you get the idea.
I used 2 lights on the chameleon shot. One behind and on camera flash (rebel pop-up flash) for fill. The good thing about the film days was you could spend all your cash on great glass and get by with super cheap bodies for things that didn't need it.
Know you have to spend all your cash on both.

I have no pets (other than some spiders I share the house with) and the local herps are quite frozen for a while, so here's a blast from the past:
Coachwhip, Trans-Pecos variant, Big Bend Nat. Park, Texas. I crept up as calmly as possible, clicking every few feet. This is as close as I got before the critter retreated. D100, 300 f4.

Timm,
I love the coachwhip picture. That is not an easy species to photograph in situ!
Joe,
I love all the texture going on in the eastern diamondback shot.
Here's my contribution for the week. Collared Lizard, Bernalillo co., NM

Joe, that Eastern Diamondback shot kicks! The patterns... the patterns....
I dropped my gear bag to get a shot of an Oregon Green Rattler one afternoon (which I got) and when I went to pick up the bag, found this
about ten inches from where I sat the bag down. OK, not a macro, but I was using a 105 Micro, and that's quite close enough, thank you.
Great expression on the turtle, Brent!
