ok....gladiator frog was on my window so we did another session

[Gato Moteado]

i made some adjustments to the lighting setup and i made some adjustments in post. i think the white balance is more accurate. the wall behind the setup has a very slight blue tint, though it's really subtle.....it's not subtle in this shot and i kind of like the blue sky effect

Pretty dodgy looking little dude, if you ask me! 😉

9. How long to set that up.

It was perfect.

[Gato Moteado]

14. thank you!

it really doesn't take long to set the lights and camera up...at most a couple minutes....and then i always do a couple test shots to make sure no ambient light gets into the exposure and it's all from the speedlights. the most time consuming part is trying to get the frog to sit still for a couple seconds in a position that looks good. but i've developed a technique for that.

10. This is breathtaking!

I love tree frogs, and this one is a beauty! The blue background really brings out the lighter details- like those awesome lines in his eyes.

May I have your permission to put this in my screensaver/background rotation?

[Gato Moteado]

15. thank you!

i'm not sure it's breath-taking, but it's OK for a hack.

yes, you certainly can use it for your screen saver.

18. Frog appears...skeptical.

I don't think he's buying what you're selling.

19. I'll second the post that says this is great composition.

You've really captured the essence of this little guy. You've managed a photo that tells us of the sacredness of his life.

[Gato Moteado]

24. thank you!

20. where do you live that you can get a frog

like that on your window?

I have never seen one, and I love love love frogs. I collect pics of them. I have one that's an orator frog, perfect for me because I'm a speech teacher!

Love this pic. Fabulous job!
