One of the more interesting things about this particular shot is that it's the first one I've taken by setting the camera physically down in the terrarium, on a timer. It's possibly also the last one I'm going to do that way, because when I took the camera back out, it had maybe twenty very tiny crickets crawling all over it. (The adults apparently lay eggs in there on a regular basis; I've seen very tiny crickets off and on, though they don't seem to reach adulthood.) I found this kind of alarming.
On the plus side, it's a very interesting pose. The words "elegant" and "haughty" come to mind. Though that actually happens with most of the Nina photos. I think she just has an elegant-slash-haughty face.
That's quite an amazing photo. Nina is so darn cute. And so tiny!
ReplyDeleteElegant and haughty is right. I can hear her now: "Peel me a cricket!"
ReplyDeleteI like that pose. It's like the lizard version of Cleopatra. Relaxing and looking elegant, but aware of the camera. Trying to say "Yes, I should be photographed" but in a subtle way.
ReplyDeleteI like that there's no glass in the way so the picture is really clear. You should keep doing it and hopefully a cricket won't crawl over the lens when the timer runs out.
Actually what came to mind wasn't haughty, just "chillin"
ReplyDeleteAll she needs is a tiny crown. But eeewwww, mini-crickets crawling all over the camera! (Gee, wonder why they never seem to make it to adulthood... )
ReplyDeleteOh, I think she's elegant, but I didn't get haughty from her. She seemed so relaxed, somehow, and a haughty person never really relaxes (too busy supervising their image/ego).
ReplyDeleteI think she's thinking, "I can't wait to grow up."
