Pondering its Froginess

One of my declared goals when I went on the trip to Costa Rica was the red-eyed tree frog, and believe me, this creature was everything I thought it would be- and more. You just can't be slimier, more colorful, cuter or more photogenic than this little pack of charm. I immidiately fell in love with it, and this is one of the first results.
Since this is a wild animal (i.e. *not* captive), and since this frog is nocturnal, the shot had to be taken using artificial light, as much as I dislike that. This cute female behaved like a true model, allowing me to take several long exposures using LED torches as light-sources.

If you've ever wanted to shoot spectacular frog shots, now you ca do just that in my upcoming 'Macro and More' Costa Rica 2013 workshop. This workshop presents the opportunity to learn macro photography in a stunning location with endless beauty and photo opportunities, countless little aliens and good fun, and yours truly as a dedicated guide
