PhotoHunt - Spotted

I was trying to get some shots of a grasshopper which was perching in between leaves when I spotted this young chameleon hidden in the leaves. I didn't manage to capture the grasshopper but was quite happy to spot this little fella.


Although slow moving, it took me a few attempts to get some closer shots because any slight movement will startle the little lizard. He spotted me taking his picture but luckily he wasn't camera shy.

    Wow! Awesome Life Ramblings.
    I would've scampered away - scared of them. XD

    Oh wow, why can't I see lovely exotic creatures in my walk? I did see a critter which commenters say was a grasshopper. Hop on over to my site to see if that was indeed a grasshopper.

    Beautiful capture.

    Oh wow! I'm fascinated with the way his skintone changed from orange to green, halfway down his torso.

    A great capture! You are very brave because they look scary. Are they what we call 'kai kong seh' or cockerel snake? Don't they bite?

    Wow!!! Grasshoppers are fine and well but chameleons... let's just say I have quite a few photos of grasshoppers but not of a single one of a chameleon... So... well done!!! :)

    Sure, he isn't shy. He likes to be captured in lenses, hehee. I like the second shot, the focus is clear while the background blurs. Now, your photographic skill is talking.

    It's too cold for creatures like that here right now.

    I played too :)

    That is so cool that you can find these wonderful creatures near by. You did a great job getting the shot also. They can be quick to move.

    He's beautiful. Really glad you spotted him with his little spots. Certainly another interesting theme with lots of different takes. I’m glad I came and saw yours.

    I took a little different angle. You can drop by and check mine here.

    Wah, very nice with the sharpness in detail and the delicious bokeh!

    Btw, it's not a chameleon. It's a changeable lizard (calotes versicolor) which is common in Southeast Asia ;)

    you are so lucky to have capture it! i had a few tries myself, but always failed. i guess that is the good thing about having a dslr, you don't have to stand as close as required as a camera phone. nice shots! :)

    Interesting shots! I was not so lucky usually. When they saw me approaching, they would be running away in a flash.
