Up-close and personal

Hi all,

I told you there would be more photographs of frogs. The sunny weekend weather has brought them out into the open more. Last weekend, I spent a good few hours photographing the frogs on the ponds surface. They had become much more active. There was also a good deal of frog spawn to be seen which meant one frog in particular was constantly on guard.

I took many photographs of this frog as all the other frogs were being scared away by it.

Some others did appear for a while but only a short while.

Today, I have been using my newly bought Aquapac for photographing the frogs underwater. This is my favourite image that I took underwater. It shows the mucus slime on the frog clearly, plus the reddish colours of the frog.

I will try to photograph some other subjects soon but for now I will keep with the frogs and try and improve my underwater images.

FROGS!!!

Hi all,

Recently, the frogs in my garden pond have started becoming more active. This means that I have started trying to photograph them more.
I first noticed that they had returned to my pond when they started moving about at night.

For this shot, I was aiming to show the frog in a wide-angle view but the frog jumped down the path in the middle of the exposure, meaning that it was shown twice in the same image.

The following images are from this weekend.

I'm hoping to photograph the frogs more throughout this spring.
