Last week we were out north west of Al Ain in one of the inter-dunal gravel plains intending to light trap insects. Unfortunately the generator decided not to run so we didn't manage that. While wandering around looking for fuel to use for the kettle, we came across this little Slevin's Short Toed Gecko (Stenodactylus slevini). While not the most cooperative subject, I did manage to get low ahead of him to get this shot. I think he should pass the HAP :) I had the AF on 51pt during this session and was amazed how often the camera picked the gecko's eye.
My question: should I clone out the reflection of the flash in the pupil or leave it?
Nikon D300, Nikkor 70-180 Micro at 100mm, 1/60, F/16, -2/3 EV, Aperture Priority, ISO 200, SB800 with diffuser on hot shoe. Processed with DxO Optics 5, rotated about 20° due to the camera being on the ground. Crop gets rid of the horizon.
