This is a blue gamma lizard from somewhere in Uganda. Shelley and I were eating lunch at an open air restaurant when we saw this guy creeping up that tree trunk and looking out over the savannah below.
Going to Uganda to photograph gorillas caused me a lot of anxiety. In my short visit, I knew I’d only get one brief opportunity. The problem isn’t finding the gorillas. That’s pretty much guaranteed, although you may have to trek a while first. The problem is, once you do find them, you only get one hour to visit. This is so humans have as little negative impact as possible. While tracking, I was hoping, praying, pleading for decent, overcast light when we came across them. And then just as the sun dipped behind a cloud they appeared. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 150mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/125th of a second
