Lizard

                              Taken with Sony Dslr A390
                               1/100    f8.0

I like this one but the left side is too dark because I overlooked the shadow.  I saw this lizard sunbathing in my garden and was in a hurry to get a shot before it decide to move to cooler area.

                              Sony Dslr A390
                              1/100    f8.0

Took this shot  from a different angle.  Not so much shadow this time.  For both photos, I was using the Tamron 70-300mm lens with macro mode on.

Sunset

Sunset and sunrise - both are the best time to capture the wonderful effect of earth's beauty.  However, it is easier to photograph sunset and I've seen many photos on this.  Sunrise is too early and having to get to the location for a good view in the early hours do not appeal to me, and I think to many others too.  Furthermore, the sun's ray during sunset is not so bright and strong and the glow especially on water is very beautiful.  Below are some of my photos on sunset.
