Reptiles Florida Iguana in a palm tree

[FowlersFreeTime]

Across the street from my house is a 30 ft palm tree (Sabal/Cabbage palm?) in my neighbor's yard and something caught my eye:

• E 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 A069
• 50.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/320 sec
• ISO 100

Something in that palm was a more vibrant shade of green...

• E 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 A069
• 300.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/320 sec
• ISO 100

An even closer crop of the picture above shows it was actually 2 iguanas!

Well seen. You have very good eyesight! How are you finding the 50-300?

It suits my needs, though I can very easily see why many of the forum members want even longer reach for bird photography. Since birds are not my usual subjects, this lens has been a fantastic "jack of all trades" zoom for zoo visits and back yard sight seeing.

I can't wait to take it to F1 next year. That's really why I bought it. But in the meanwhile, I'll continue practicing on random subjects.

Great spot Chris. He's certainly a big guy!
