nearly stepped on this little fella so i grabbed the Tamron 90 macro and got this shot in P mode f22 1/125 with the sigma EF500 DG super flash and stoffen diffuser hand held [lying on my guts]...

the frog didn't move so i grabbed the Pentax A*200 macro and got these shots in manual mode f22 or f32 1/180 same flash and position...

You sure that you didn't step on hin. He looks awfully flat in the first image :lol:

The second image, the close up is my favourite. I love the bored expression on his face.

That is onething about this type of frog they can be very cooperative. These shots are all nice and crisp.

Just as well you didn't, wouldn't have made anywhere near as nice a photo. :lol:

I Like the 2nd one best too. Frog's have such cool facial expressions and those eyes, how the veins in them almost look like gold.

nice pic's

2nd is my favourite also.

looks kinda flat.

I think you musta stepped on him, that's why he let you get the shots.

well done.
