A couple of close up shots of an Australian fresh water crocodile.
His enclosure had a glass front on it, the only reason I could get so
close to him. Canon 20D 18-55 Lens ISO 800 1/60 5.6

Hi Tommy,

I have heard that the kit lens is supposed to be rubbish, but mine seems to do a reasonable job. Sorry to hear that yours isn't so good.

Hi soupdragon,

Either you have been extremely unlucky, or the kit lens is rubbish.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the compliment, I certainly wouldn't have been able to get the shots if the croc wasn't behind glass.
I was only about 6 inches away from him and he didn't move at all.
