Small lizards taken by placing the lens of the camera against the
glass to try and eliminate reflections.

Awesome work Mr.Gale, please guide me how do you capture those pictures without reflections, I tried many times but always reflections will be there, I use canon 600d & 18-135mm lens.

By putting the lens of the camera against the glass enclosure it is possible to eliminate
the reflections. The enclosure that I took these pictures from is not large and you
can walk right up to it to take the pictures. Have you looked up information on polarizing
filters? That might help reduce reflections but I advise you to look for videos on youtube
to check the effectiveness of that out. I know that smudges on glass and reflections can ruin
an opportunity for a great shot so I try and figure out ways to overcome those obstacles (if possible).
You have a great camera and lens so that’s not your problem.
Hope you can get some help by checking out any available videos on youtube.
Good luck with it.
