Nikon D300, tripod, Nikon 80-400 mm lens.Inspiration
I absolutely love frogs. I waited for several hours on the day I took this photo. The frog was actually quite small. You could find them by looking for their eyes sticking out of the water. At the time I took this, there was a bullfrog swimming around and making bullfrog noise. It almost seemed that this frog was hiding under the algae on it's head.Editing
Cropped and sharpened in Lightroom.In my camera bag
My Nikon camera, Nikon lenses including a 12-24mm, an 18-300mm, a 70-200mm, an 80-400mm, a 50mm and a fisheye lens, extra cards and battery.Feedback
I recommend a ton of patience! I really did have to hang around the pond for hours. I think it paid off with this capture.
