Support An excellent shot. How'd you get the black behind it? Night sky and lighting? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs} 09:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They cannot be found easily during the day, but at night they sleep on small braches near the ground so that predators can't get them without disturbing the branch. I used a low-level on-camera flash and hand-held off-camera slave unit for the main lighting. There was a lot of ill-informed dabte on Commons FP about the ethics of flash use. Chameleons have (compared to us) tunnel vision so they will hardly notice a flash from, say 20 degreees off line. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Excellent photo. From the Commons FPC, it's a night shot - these chameleons are easier to find at night. MER-C 10:48, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
