I'm working to put together a workshop entirely devoted to large reptiles. I'm hoping to offer it either by the end of the summer or next year. There are some truly amazing creatures that look just like miniature dinosaurs that I find captivating. They are so primitive, so fascinating, and definitely very photogenic. This guy is a green basilisk from Central and South America. Photographing reptiles outside on a log or rock with trees in the background makes the pictures look entirely natural. I took this with my medium format (Mamiya RZ 67) film camera before I transitioned into digital. My settings weren't recorded, but I used the same approach over and over again with subjects like this: 250mm lens (equivalent to a 135mm telephoto in the full frame digital format), f/11, 1/125, Fujichrome Provia film 100 ISO.
