You might not think that a couple feet of warm chain link fence is a big deal. But, to these 2 adult male green anole lizards, it's everything.

Watch as these 2 lizards stare each other down, head bob, and tail flick as the world passes them by. Fortunately for me, I had my HV20 along when I spotted the "action".

Location was Flatwoods park in Tampa, Florida on January 6, 2008. Shot outside on a Canon HV20 with a full zoom (these are only 6" long lizards with tail) - 24p, cine mode. Edited in iMovie05 on a Powerbook G4 and rendered in a matter of hours. Yes, hours!

    michael, this is awesome! too bad you didn't have a tripod. but i'm sure you had to zoom way in as well to catch this.

    Mark, thanks... and yes, a tripod would have made a big difference, but it wasn't really possible since I was on a 15 mile bike ride. Though I'm considering a monopod down the road.

    I was zoomed all the way except for the last couple of scenes where I moved a little closer. But those tiny lizards spook easily, so I could only get so close.
