Shot with a Canon 20D w/24-1-5mm L series lens w/IS. I had to hold the camera up over my head and guess at the framing of this image. He was up a tree.

"A three-toed tree toad tried to tie
A two-toed tree toad's shoe.
But tying two-toed shoes is hard
For three-toed toads to do.
Since three-toed shoes each have three toes,
And two-toed shoes have two."
Poem by Jon Agee for you.
Amazing wonderful cute and detailed portrait of a toad, including the toes! :)

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was take in Riverhead Long Island New York

Time

This shot was taken on a cloudy afternoon with some drizzle throughout the day.

Lighting

Do to the cloudy day I shot this photo at f/4 too get as much light as possible and to speed up the shutter since I was forced to hold the camera over my head to get this shot and could not brace myself to steady the camera.

Equipment

I used my old Canon 20D and a 24-105mm f/4.0 lens with IS. The camera was hand held over my head because the frog was on a tree limb which was over my head. I need to use my auto focus and guess on the composition. It took about 8 shots to finally get this one good image.

Inspiration

I was taken by the relax and almost grinning image that this little green guy offered. He never moved a muscle and I could have taken shots of him for as long as I wanted to. He was not spooked by my presence at all.

Editing

Some levels adjustment and sharpening were done in PhotoShop and I used the burn tool to emphasis his smile.

In my camera bag

I have two Canon 5D MKIIs and my old 20D. My lenses consist of a Canon 16-35 mm f/2.8, Canon 70-200 mm f/2.8 telephoto, a Canon 24-105 mm f/4.0 lense w/ image stabilization, a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, Tamron 2x teleconverter, Kenko extension tubes, B&W circular polarizers, and 33 Schneider glass filters and a Lee filter holder.

Feedback

Patience is the key to capturing successful wildlife images. Always be alert and ready because you never know when the next encounter with a wildlife subject is going to present itself.
