On a trip out bush which is not too far from home.
An ex friend and myself went out and we seen this Goanna run up the tree.
I had my camera which at that time was a Sony a390 with a 75-300mm lens
The shot I got was good for what I had. The the ex friend asked if I wanted to use his camera with a 400mm lens on it.
Later that day he emailed me with the shot I took with his camera and is the second shot I will post.
But it really showed me how different lens can be.

I am willing to learn and will listen to what other have to say.
But if I don't like it, never take offense to it.
It is just something that I may not like.

I have heard stories of these running straight up someone just standing there.
They must have been under threat to do this but I think it would have looked funny but not for the person as those claws looks dangerous if they did climb up you.
Have only seen 2 in the wild but I really never worried about them but now I like to take photo's.
I think this is now what I will look for as well as other things.
