The catch
Photo Information
Here the first catch of the chameleon shooting. I myself was almost a bit shocked, when I saw this image after making it. The normally so small and "sweet" reptile suddenly got a touch of Alien IV 
Interesting to see his protected eyes. It seems to have a kind of "fire and forget" tongue - once the tongue is out it does not look at the prey anymore (I assume that this should protect the eyes from fast approaching parts - like legs - from the prey, when it is pulled back with high speed into the mouth)

How did you time it? Hi Tim - the photo was taken with 100mm, ISO 200, F16, 1/125 sec and I used my Sigma ring flash (in this case mounted to the lens to get maximum light into the scenery - most of the other chameleon shots are taken with a freehand ring reflector - but the actual hunt shots were all taken with mounted reflector)
