Baby Tree Frog

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted August 18, 201048 views3 comments
I found this very small Tree Frog on a Palmetto Plant in the Barataria Preserve in Louisiana. He was just under 1/2" long. It was difficult to take a photo of him because he was so small, the lighting wasn't great and there was a slight breeze. I tried a smaller aperature but it was slowing my shutter speed to much.

Tripod mounted Canon 7D, 300 f/4L IS with 1.4x convertor. ISO 500, f/5.6 @1/40 sec.

I like the idea, just wish the frog had a little better profile here...
Cool entry, regardless. :wavey:

Palmettos make a wonderful setting for these little guys.

Great idea... If only conditions allowed you to impart a bit more definition to froggie.. But very nice all the same :toast:
