Motion in Stillness

Talking about being in the right place at the right time. To get these shots the timing had to be just right and even a tiny bit out of focus would have meant that you would miss your shot and have to try again some other time.

To think that he not only got the focus right as well as the shutter speed to stop the drops midair. He was able to get the rule of thirds in, as well as the entire lizard. He must have also used a flash because of the dark background which just adds to the effect of the still motion of the droplets.

This is another example of perfect timing. They also had to have used a flash setup to the left to get that lighting effect which adds a creepy but cool aspect to the picture because you only see half of it there.

To get the entire action of this chameleon inside the frame is an amazing feat. Especially with the tongue shooting out like that. I don't know if I quiet believe the coloration at that moment specifically but I'm probably just not familiar enough with the hunting coloration of chameleons.
