Barred Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma mavortium mavortium)

Haha.... Actually there is zero manipulation of these images beyond NEF conversion to TIF to JPEG, setting the levels, a teeny bit of saturation and some sharpening (only do these things because I have it all turned off in the camera to preserve image quality). I've really got my macro flash setup perfected now. I only wish I had a D300 instead of a D80...
 
That makes two of us.

I got my hands on a Pentax k10d the other day with a 1:1 zoom. It was a gorgeous thing... Oh how I wish I wasn't poor.
 
I'm still getting to grips with my panasonic dmc fz18, its good for telephoto-macro shots which I imagine will be useful in the field/out and about,,,
 
I had my wife's Canon S80 for a long time and I'd always take it instead of the SLR. Awesome photos, nice field capability and macro. It's just a compact digital camera yet I found it more usable than my DSLR for most purposes.
 
I know what you mean, even just the fact that its compact means you'll probably have it on you when a good shot appears, in your pocket or something.
 
John---Those are nice tigers.

John---what is the macro flash setup that you have "perfected?"
 
I've built a jointed bracket from the tripod socket on my camera off out to the left to hold an SB-800 combo at a 45 degree angle to about 2 feet in front of the camera.
 
The jointing makes it very adaptable to whatever situation I need.
 
John, any chance of a pic of the setup?
 
Now that what I call a tiger salamander. I hope I'm lucking enough to find one that nice some day.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
