great angle, and a cool shot - shame about the shallow depth of field, I wish the front legs and nose were more in focus.

Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo outside my front patio.Time
This is one of my favourite images. There had been alot of rain falling so there were frogs hidden in my garden. This handsome guy was sitting on my awning catching bugs that flew close by in the early evening .Lighting
I had my patio light on which highlighted his beautiful form .Equipment
I used my nikon d7000 with nikon macro 105mm lens. I used the side of wall I was leaning against as a support while taking the photo.Inspiration
This was an opportunity I that presented so I had to drop everything and take that chance . itself liked the angle he was sitting , above my head height and I liked the way the lighting drew attention to his brilliant form . As I moved closer he didn't move allowing me to try a few angles .Editing
I adjusted exposure and contrast in lightroom .In my camera bag
I have a nikon d7000 and I use a nikon 105mm macro lens for close ups , a tamron 10-24mm wide angle lens , a 18-55mm standard lens , a 55-300mm standard lens , a yongnuo flash gun and hoya nd filters.Feedback
See the beyond the obstacles and see the possibilities . Take a chance and when you do patience helps as you adjust your camera settings and survey your environment, and available light.
