I have to share one more. This lovely lizard is a Long-nose Dragon (doing a little "hot rock dance" and lifting his legs alternately) was tricky to get close enough for the 105mm. But then I look at the detail and I cannot believe it. My eyes can't see any of this without the camera!

Also saw a fire-tailed skink in the wild today but was too slow to photograph that one :)

Starting with this image, the full frame. Just wanted to show that I was struggling to get close with the 105mm lens. Was amazed I even got this close.
When I crop in on the shot I cannot believe the detail this camera captures. I've done a lot of wildlife photography in the past, but this macro lens has floored me.

Was staying at a very small "resort" of sorts near Kathmandu a few months ago and the chef was just a delightful chap and one afternoon I stayed in rather than taking a hike in the hills so he asked if I wanted to photograph him making some momos for lunch. That made me very happy!

The kitchen shelf. Thermos flask for hot water. A few jars with spices.
Steam trays with momos ready to go in.
Silhouette of my chef. Always wearing that baseball cap.
The finished dish. Half steamed, half fried.

Morning light filters through the forest canopy. Bursts of sunshine form rays around a lone photographer, standing in the mist. Unaware of whether or not the tigers might be near.

Photo taken by my wife Shellie. She's my favourite person in the world. She makes everything better.

Morning light in the Himalayas. We're at about 4500m elevation, with crystal clear skies and not a cloud to be seen, not even clinging to Everest itself.

I love working with wide-open apertures. It helps when the scenery is this special though, can hardly take a bad photo here. This lake is just below Mount Chola.

This image taken with the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG (for L-Mount) and the LUMIX S5.

Standing on the shores of Lake Chola, we greet the morning light. Shot at f/2.8 with the 14-24mm DG DN by Sigma on the LUMIX S5.

I love love love the very first light in the morning. Today we picked out a nice stretch of the Marsyangdi River and waited for the light to come into the valley.

I didn't have an ultra-wide lens so I grabbed a pano with the 24mm instead.

This may be controversial to some folks, but this pano was shot at f/2. I do this a lot when shooting directly into the sun, to soften the flare.
