Description I was golfing in Mexico when this little (Well, not little really... the guy was about 4 feet long!) Iguana came right onto a rock, turned his head back, and posed for my camera. You have to love dumb luck!

Well it was in Mexico, and there are tons of lizards down there. Here in New York, however, there isn't one outside of a zoo

Great capture, hon! He just knew you were waiting with your camera for one of those "dumb-luck" pics. Gotta love nature in all it's forms.

What was the shutter speed and f-stop on this picture? Also, does your camera have a glow effect? Because the shot is a tad blurry.

All my shots are a tad blurry. On my camera I can't adjust the shutter speed... Sucks.

I can't exactly place where the blur is coming from. It's not an f-stop blur. It doesn't seem like the lighting was a problem, according to the picture, so the shutter speed should've been fairly high. It's possible that your camera has a problem focusing. Is it manual or automatic?

Automatic.

Then there may something wrong with the focus on your camera... that, or it has some really weird shutter speed settings.

Would dropping it in a pool affect that? >_> xD

Oh, definitely. If water got into the lens, which I'm assuming, then the camera's automatic focus has been altered slightly in response to the water.

Although your camera may appear dust/waterproof, it's not. Dust slowly creeps in over time, and a camera may eventually become useless because of it. Water must've managed to get inside the lens, and since water acts like a lens, it's altered the cousing of your camera.

Inter-changeable lens cameras tend to get more dust, but that can be cleaned out, unlike fixed-lens cameras.

The camera is about 2 years old now, so I'm going to start saving money for a new one after I pay off my car. I owe $500 more on it until I'm done... $10,000 took me all summer.
