his image was taken in Costa RicaTime
Early afternoon with some passing cloudsLighting
I like to photograph in partial shade as it brings down the contrast level, particularly on delicate colors and subjectsEquipment
A Nikon D3s, 100 mm lens, no tripod, no flashInspiration
I love frogs and am always looking out for them. To me it is like finding a treasure and I get great JOY out of it.Editing
I do not think so but for a crop and dodge and burnIn my camera bag
Now I am using Canon Gear and it depends what I am after. Another love of mine are birds so I will pack my 500mm f4. Another lens I like for Macro work outside a Macro lens is a wide angle as If possible I can get real close. I love my 11-24mm for that or the 16-24mmFeedback
