We've had a few storms this evening and when I took the pups out for dinner this evening guess what I see checking out the world sitting on the lawn chair under the verandah? A frog!! Quick as a flash I grabbed a fast fifty (Meyer Optik Gorlitz 50/1.8) and started shooting.
Here's the first few with just light from the balcony.
Elsie finished her dinner and came to see what I was doing and say hello to Mr Little Frog
As you can see, they're ok but not super sharp or anything. What to do, what to do... I remembered someone on here a few months back who spotted a frog (on their car?) and grabbed a torch for lighting before shooting. I remember the shots turned out pretty neat, so I went inside, grabbed my uber bright LED torch and went back out again.
whoops, lighting a bit too dramatic!
Ah there we go. Short of getting an assistant or mounting the light to my head that's about the best I can do. I'm quite pleased with the detail you can see in its eye though.
