the dragon

At a little over a metre in length and around a kilo in weight, this male Australian Water Dragon in peak condition is a truly impressive modern day dinosaur indeed! Riparian rainforest on Mt Tamborine in south eastern Queensland.

Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 DSLR coupled to a vintage C/Y (Contax/Yashica mount) Yashica ML 55/2.8 1:2 macro lens with a third-party adapter. Hand-held with manual settings, manual focus and reflected side-lighting utilised.

Shot wide open @ 2.8.

I love my Yashica..
