Photo of the Day: A Very Obliging Lizard!!!

I recently came back from a range of mountains in South Africa called the Cederberg. This area has magnificent rock formations, and reminds me in some ways of the beautiful landscapes of Cappadocia. I will post more pictures of my trip in days to come. 

This guy however was a talking point in itself. He really was beautiful, but strangely also very tame. Normally to capture a shot like this you would have to use a telephoto of sorts in order for him to not be scared away. But this shot was taken with the lens I had been using to take the beautiful scenery around me, which happened to be my Sigma 10-20mm landscape lens. I panned my camera around him, taking a number of shot no longer than a rulers length away from him.

A very obliging lizard!!!

Weekly Photo: Hot Air Balloons at Sunrise

Hot Air Balloons at Sunrise

I took this photo in 2012 on my honeymoon in Turkey. If you ever visit this beautiful country you have to make a stop in Cappadocia. While a balloon ride will add a couple more bucks to your trip, it is something you will remember for the rest of your life. If you decide not to do the ride, a trip to this area of Turkey is still worth the priceless views and unique landscapes you get to see.
