Frawgy in a Blenda

[Zeeke]

Went outside earlier and heard a loud racket.. grabbed the torch and followed the noise, look down and heres a tiny lil frog going off his nut in the grass.. so i picked him up with wet hands and got him setup for a couple of photos before placing him in a safe location away from all the toads

Yikes!

Would the toads eat him/her?

Cheers

Graham PS - Excellent photos there Zeeke!

nice series...... have you been hanging out with Rel........

[Zeeke]

Thanks for the comments

Bago, Toads will eat anything that fits in there mouth and moves.. and aslong as it doesnt taste bad they'll go the whole lot... ive heard storys of toads eating small mice and small rats.. bird chicks and other small animals that they can get access to... a frog is nothing different

Lovely series Tim and a great rescue

[Manta]

Magnificent shots Tim - you should be very proud of yourself young man!

Graceful Tree Frog (Litoria gracilenta) is my guess though, as always, I may be wrong.

I'm not a big fan of the desaturated or black and white treatments but number 3 is an absolute magazine cover. Fantastic composition, colour, exposure and sharpness. It's just screaming out to be blown up, framed and hung!!

[Zeeke]

Ok so ill go and shoot myself in the foot, i just found another one and it appears theres a few others chirping there heads off in the tree farm behind my house.. so heres 3 more pics

Thanks again for the comments!!

[Manta]

Brilliant, Tim! What more can I say??
Wait 'til Rel sees these...

The pose in the second shot is fantastic! I don't think that's a very common compostion with this sort of subject and you've bloody nailed it.

Well done - these are rippers.

[Zeeke]

*head swells*

Thanks Simon for the comments.. and i didnt think they were that good.. just frog shots.. well.. i know Rel wont be calling me Toad King next time i see her

You are becoming a seriously good photographer! They are supurb! A tad more depth of field on a couple of shots would have been the icing on the cake. (Even if it means bumping up the ISO a little).

[blacknstormy]

Tim - all I can say is,
Bloody Fantastic !!!!

You've taken a superb series of shots of, yes Manta was right, Litoria gracilenta, or the graceful tree frog. (also known as the dainty tree frog). You've captured the essence of a beautiful little frog, with big gorgeous golden eyes, and fantastic colouring. I'm not a fan of the desat treatment either, but the colour shots ......


Fantastic Tim - and you're right, you title of "Toad King" has been revoked

Rel & Damo

[Zeeke]

thanks for the comments Rel.. now i know what it is i can work on designing a nice layout for me to print out a big picture like Simon said..

Tim

[Big Red]

Great shots Tim


This wet weather is just great to see.

[Dug]

Can you bring one over and we can play Mr frog meets Mr blender in the studio

[PiroStitch]

Awesome pics mate! Should really print them up and frame it. Love the lighting.

[Zeeke]

Dug, does that mean ur actually going to let me in your studio?

Piro, cheers for the comments.. Amazing what a Sb800 can do for lighting

Tim

[Dug]

If you let me put a frog in Margo's blender and don't tell Margo

(no frogs will be hurt in this process/ processor)

[PALL]
