Giant Cave Gecko in the Taronga Nocturnal House

We had a 365 photo buddies meet up with AnnieD, zoo guide extraordinaire. She not only knew the complete layout at the zoo, she could name animals, their behavior, etc. This photo of the Giant Cave Gecko was taken in the very dark Nocturnal House, where we tried to quietly wait for the animals to come out in between large groups of very excited school children. Taken at iso 32,000 with a shutter speed of 1/25, I was surprised it actually emerged from the dark!
Sure sounds exciting meetup! Very cool shot

@leonbuys83 -- I used the details section of LR to reduce noise. But still, I was surprised it worked at all in the dark!

It's probably thinking "bother, I thought I'd be hidden in here. Don't tell me mama I am out this late......."
