Nature Frog on

Frog on · 04:14 PM

When arrenging some wood my father saw something moving in a pile he just put down and realised it was a big toad! Somehow it managed to not get hurt and gladly sat still in the comfy warmth of his hand in to warm up in the spring air, while it posed for some shots.

Actually it's Iso 4000 but the forum doesn't let me choose it. But yeah, I reguraly push the K-5 and Iso 4000 is nothing, simply great!

4000? Even better!
My k10d hangs its head in shame.

Haha yeah, I wanted the Depth of field (F7.1) at close focus and get some details and at 200mm I wanted to go sharp with the shutter (1/320). Some extra pushed contrast and I'm not even worried at Iso 6400 with the K-5. It's nothing compared to my sports stuff that can even reach Iso 12800 but by then you already really lost quality.

A far cry from Kermit - looks more like one of the Muppet critics
