As my son climbed trees, I collected cones and did something creative!

Tiliqua rugosa (shingleback skink, etc) photographed at Bold Park, Perth Western Australia. This species has a great range of common names. Blue toungues are cool lizards and the Wikipedia entry for this species is rather interesting. Apparently this species is monogamous.

To take this shot I used my 17 - 85mm IS Lens with a 10 x Macro Filter attached. This is the first time I have properly tried using the filters and I have to say I am really impressed with them. I think they are great value if you can't afford a dedicated macro lens - the only problem is seeing how these shots have turned out just makes me want a macro lens even more!

This shot is of a pinecone, I took a few different shots at different angles but this was the one I liked the most.

A Margie made leather pinecone that I LOVE and a beautiful 1800s hand painted bookplate I scored at the St. Lawrence market.

It's growing!

So much for the pine cone. Will do some colour shots later, probably... Works quite well in BW though. Moving on...

High contrast shadow does not look too good.
