      Yes, that was a lucky side effect. On this one the effect is much stronger:

      Blue-legged chameleon at night in Ranomafana I have a list of spotted chameleon names during this night walk in Ranomafana, but now I have to match the photos to the name, which is hard. This one comes closest to the Blue-legged chameleon, which is quite a mysterious creatures, hardly any information about it is available online. There are several photos, but as with most chameleons, they wildly vary in appearence based on gender, age and locality. <br /> <br /> By the way, I was quite happy with my flash light bouncing on the water drops in this shot. Almost as if there are a few dozen little flashes :) Blue-legged chameleon,Calumma crypticum,Geotagged,Madagascar,Ranomafana National Park
