Mid-Size

Uploaded: September 17, 2009

Description

Wanted to give a sense of scale to these wee froggers I've been shooting! This little critter is mid-size, and is sitting between the first knuckles of my pinkie & ring fingers. It must have been comfortable, because I took about 20 shots, and finally had to shake him into the bush nearby!

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D40

Beautiful close up Tess, so tiny! #1181574

You are absolutely right, Tess, about trying for the sense of scale. I think I'm jealous that you got to work with this guy in the wild as you did. The only ones I've gotten close to were in a seminar. Very nicely captured. #7951618

Thank you for the kind comments, Claudia & Mitch!

They're really cool creatures, Mitch. I discovered them quite accidentally, while scouring bushes for dragonflies and such. There are three bushes at a local park that almost always have a handful of these guys, and I end up with at least one on me every time! #7951627

Thanks Ann! I've taken dozens of these shots, and found how difficult it is to handhold a frog on the left and a camera on the right, without there being some MAJOR blur! #7951649

WOW! What a brilliant hand held macro of this beautiful little frog, Tess! The drought here has certainly reduced the population of our frogs! #7952043
