•  Question I don't understand how a 15mm lens at f/8 would produce such shallow depth of field. Am I missing something? – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 22:08, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

  Because the focusing is very close. I think you underappreciate how close you would have to be to the subject to get it to fill up even this much of the screen. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:31, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

  It was at minimum focusing distance (~8") and horizontal FOV of the fisheye lens is around 160 degrees because of the sensor's 1.3x crop (will be 180 with full frame). The photograph was an attempt to capture the animal with a bit of its harsh environment. Also note that the image has been corrected for distortion. -- ~y (talk) 06:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Good choice of techniques to record a character display. I think you frighten her a bit to make this. :) JKadavoor Jee 06:20, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
  • All I wanted to do was to save it from being run over by vehicles, but the normally brown chameleon got defensive (rightly so) and that's when I grabbed my camera because it is interesting behavior! -- ~y (talk) 06:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
