That first Geko shot is excellent! What lens were you using to get that close? Iv tried to get a few shots of Gekos and just end up scaring them off. Such skittish creatures.

Thank you. I used my newly acquired Tamron SP60 for that shot. Minimum working distance is 4 inches from front of lens to subject at 1:1. Of course, that shot was taken at below 1:1. According to the exit, the "subject distance" was 220mm.
