The toad looked so peaceful and owner of his universeEditing
I did some cropping and lifted the exposure slightlyIn my camera bag
As I travel with dive gear, snowboard gear, surf boards, hiking gear, etc, it is essential that I only take necessities and light weight gear. For water-based trips, I take my camera and dive housing with strobes and my go pro with movie lights. I also carry the small flash that comes with the camera for any land shots.Feedback
The built-in electronic tripod/level seem to work really well. A slow progressive, non-threatening approach lets you get really close to animals... most of the time.
