  • My favorite anole species presented in dynamic wide angle- the cryptic ambush predator, Pug-nosed Anole (<i>Norops capito</i>)
  • <i>Norops aquaticus</i> is a very colorful stream inhabitant of southwestern Costa Rica.
  • Crowned Treefrog, <i>Anotheca spinosa</i>
  • Casque-headed Lizard (<i>Corytophanes cristatus</i>)
  • This Rufous-eyed Stream Frog (<i>Duellmanohyla rufioculis</i>) was shot at 24mm on a 1.5 crop sensor.
  • Annulated Tree Boa (<i>Corallus annulatus</i>)

  • This is a juvenile Helmeted Iguana (<i>Corytophanes cristatus</i>) from the premontane slopes of the Rara Avis Rainforest Reserve in Costa Rica. This species utilizes an extreme sit-and-wait hunting technique.  It was shot at 24mm

  • Ridge-headed Salamander, <i>Bolitoglossa colonnea</i>
  • This katydid does a great job at mimicking a dead leaf
  • Casque-headed Lizard (<i>Corytophanes cristatus</i>)
  • A striking yellow and black example of the polychromatic Helmeted Iguana (<i>Corytophanes cristatus</i>)
  • Here's a photo of one of the wide-angle macro shoots. I do about half of them in the field and half setup in a studio. This particular studio setup consisted of a Nikon D7000 coupled with a Nikon 10-24mm. For lighting I used a R1 wireless twin macro-flash setup, and two SB-700 speedlights. <br />
I decided to take a break from the shoot when the Anotheca jumped from the perch onto the camera.
