Your flickr data says: ƒ/5.6 55.0 mm 1/100 400 Flash (on, fired). I think you may be confused about something, that really didn't look like a 4 second handheld exposure to me so I took a look. The shutter speed is 1/100th of a second which sounds much more likely. I thought maybe you confused your aperture with your shutterspeed but its at 5.6 so not sure where the 4 seconds comes from.jack4rogers wrote:Found this looker last night.

If he's shooting in total darkness, the only exposure on the image will be from the brief burst of light provided by the flash. If there's no other sources of light, he could take the photo with flash and swing the camera wildly for a couple seconds while it is still exposing, and really not change the image on the sensor much, other than introducing some noise and maybe slight blurring.Antonsrkn wrote:Your flickr data says: ƒ/5.6 55.0 mm 1/100 400 Flash (on, fired).

That gecko is Hemidactylus sp. either maculatus or triedrus and not Deccan banded gecko.zeevng wrote:Here are a few from across the three countries I've lived and herped in. India, Israel, and California:

Baby rock python in semi-situ. I hadn't moved it, just approached it's ambush and it recoiled in defense.

Sorry for the sometimes poor image quality. In-situ doesn't always translate to being ready with your top equipment!
Happy Herping!![]()
