Gecko eyes

I've always been interested in eyes, specially gecko eyes. A few days ago I got some new macro lenses and of course my main practise sessions have been with gecko eyes (and a few cat eyes thrown in for the fun of it).

This isn't the best shot, but I love the angle. Milii don't have eyelids, but they have visors ;)

Crested gecko eye shot (which is actually also a self portrait - if you look closely you see part of me and the camera in the reflection.)

I'm just itching to get some good eye pictures of my patternless LV albino leopards, but they don't cooperate very well. Every time the flash goes off, they close their eyes. Darn Eublipharids. I'm hoping for a bright day soon so I can try again without using the flash.


And my Pooky, the sweetest purriest cat ever

Awesome Pics Hilde, a good macro is on my list, i get some great shots just using a 4x magnifier, but i definately want to get a good macro lens, i have also got some great pics using my 18-55 with a reversed 50mm lens, works like a macro but you need to get real close to the subject ! keep the nice pics coming
