Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo in La Estanzuela Natural Park at South of Monterrey City, Nuevo Leon State, Mexico.

Time

The scene of a frog on a flower or on a leaf is classic. I saw it in July 4, 2015 at 13:41 hours. I did several photos, the frog stayed quite.

Lighting

I used natural light in a sunny day.

Equipment

I had a Nikon P600 camera, which can combine Macro and Telephoto. This feature lets to do a photo from 1.5 meters. I don't used flash or tripod. I used Manual Mode, JPG 4608 X 3456, ISO 200, f/7.1, 1/640 s, WB Sunny day, Pattern as measuring, focal distance 161 mm (900 of 35 mm).

Inspiration

I liked very much that scene. Really, I like the nature photography because I'm biologist.

Editing

The post-processing was change brightness, I reduced it according to how I remembered the scene.

In my camera bag

When I did that photo I only had that camera.

Feedback

I recommend look for frogs the months that they are actives and close to the freshwater. In the site of the photo the best months are from March to Octuber. You should to use semipro camera or a reflex camera with a 250 mm telephoto or superior to take the photo from distances of one meter or more.
