Tree Frog

D85_0876-XL.jpg


Went out again yesterday with a macro set-up for tree frogs. Tried the camera focus shift again and determined (as expected) that focus stacking with a live subject outdoors with a bit of a breeze doesn't yield great results so I opted for flash instead.


Fantastic image... pretty sure I am pulling that same p*ssed off, "just give me a reason to..." facial expression right now....

Very nice. I think you must live in a zoo! I have some similar shots but mine were shot in a studio, not my back yard!

Thanks Ken. Have to say that the best cure for a photography funk is to go and buy that new piece of gear you've had your eye on. Retail therapy works wonders...at least thats what the missus says every time she comes home with an armload of shopping bags.

Thanks AFB. Not quite my backyard but an hour drive away is close enough and the closest I come to living in a zoo is when the neighbours let their 6 year hellion run amok in our yard at all hours for the shear joy of terrorizing our dog.

If @kenoh buys the gear he's got his eye on (Leica M10), his misses will murder him!

Ok so a M10 and a Noctilux are your fault yeah? :)

Work getting me down was all... :)

She would murder me pre-emptively just on the basis of this conversation!

So I'm not overly keen on the painted effect as it's not to my taste. It seems to have introduced a lot of noise (grain) to the image.

However I think its a lovely composition with the plus points being the seagull looking into the frame as well as the positioning. Horizon is perfectly straight to which is another plus.

Something a bit warmer than Llandudno. Apparently the oldest house in the US. Comments always appreciated.

I am binge watching Westworld at the moment so I guess that is why this series is so appealing to me right now. I do like the palette of the series though.. Beautiful captures.
[doublepost=1506764800][/doublepost]Classic horror movie picture (I think).... cue the screechy incidental violin music...

"Don't go into the basement"...... well its the downstairs loo actually but that ruins the moment... :)

Great colours for sure anotherscotsman but I'm not sure about that small sliver of background at the top of the frame. I'm wondering how this would look cropped below the top window.

I wasn't too happy with that sliver myself but it got Explore on Flickr anyway....Here's one where I changed the perspective a bit to make the building more square-on. Apologies to everyone for two posts today.
