Calotes Closeup
I sincerely don't know why, but on today's hot sunny noon, this fellow allowed the camera as close as 6 inches, and me sitting besides him just a foot away. At that distance, I could have caught him easily with bare hands, but did not want to break his trust in me. So, caught his pictures and left the place.
Generally, calotes are active during sunny parts of the day and this is the time when taking close-up shots without zoom is highly challenging, even for experts. The best times to shoot them are at dawn before sun warms them up or on gloomy days, where they are lazily basking around.
