Macro shots Leatherback vs Normal

[Chris.]

As the title sais, I got myself a macro lens and took some shots to compare my Leatherback vs my Normal dragon.
Just for the fun of it but still kind of interesting to see
The first is always the Leatherback. If somebody wants to see some other parts, let me know.

Back scales:

The sides:

And a claw, because it looks bonkers

Really interesting to see those details up close. Thanks for sharing!

Love this as I also did macros from my Taco (as I'm really obsessed with details and structures!), but obviously have no other dragon to compare.

Cool! Thanks for the photo. It would be interesting to see a macro photo of the eye.

This interests me as well but you have to get really close for this so the eye will require some cooperation
They are at bed right now but I'll try tomorrow. Especially the translucent eye will be interesting, compared to a normal one

Holy crap that is friggen awesome
The eyes will be interesting also. The structure on a trans is still a normal eye, just without the white pigment. In good light you can still make out the differences. It will be very cool to see with macro I think.
The first two photos are amazing btw.

Best I could do, they kept closing their eyes if I got closer

Interesting difference. My Taco's eye looks very much like on the left, with very pronounced "eyelashes" and an eye color I would describe as "honey".

I also will try some macros (have a few but only very few) - usually I can get very close with things to Taco's face, so "try" means more "when he wants to come out, and when he's not either wanting to go back into his habitat too early or decides to wander around"

Turned out great! Cool photos. The second photo is a real universe inside!

I took a couple of photos, including macros, of Taco last weekend. However, none really of the eye - I can come very close with a camera or phone, but then he gets very curious, tilts the head and licks the device, even the lens

I might try it next time with showing him something else that's more interesting than the camera, maybe some bugs or his cat toys.
