Hi. I wanted to share some frog photos I took earlier this week. I think the first one is my favorite.

Equipment: Canon 7D + 70-200 f/4 L

Yes number two is the best IMHO. The large aperture selected has essentially isolated the frog as the main focus point.

BTW I like all the pictures....but WRT composition the other pics also isolate other, less interesting, features ( eg rocks, sticks, etc...). I have started to learn this in my work....some of my best pics seem to fill the frame with a single point of interest.

Of course I have seen many great pics that have several points of interest that "lead" your eye in a pleasing manner. For your pics I would almost consider this a portraiture...therefore a large aperture often works the best.

Thanks for sharing...

The place where a shot these is a wooded area in Wisconsin that has a spring fed creek running through it. As you go deeper in the woods, rock bluffs surround you on all three sides and there's a small waterfall where the trail ends. It's awesome, there are frogs everywhere.

Not sure what kind of frog this is. I found him out in the woods today and he was kind enough to pose for a few photos. He even gave me time to setup a tripod. BONUS!

Here's a new one from yesterday. I got a little wet getting this shot, but I like the result.

That's great.

I was angling for such a shot yesterday. A sunny stone, all the frogs jumped into
the water when I got close. So I sat down out of sight of them, expecting them to climb back
onto the stone, over the lip and I had my zoom trained on the lip of the rock. After around
30 minutes I gave up. But I was sat in the sun!

Cheers Brian
