Behind The Lens

Location

We have an area on a property that retains tons of water. My husband dug a pretty large area which holds the water and (has a drain). The frogs LOVE it! Its gorgeous when they all hang out.

Time

Around 3 p.m.

Lighting

I wait until the sun is to the west and shoot in natural light. (the sun is usually diffused with trees).

Equipment

This is a pretty old photo LOL, SONY DSLR-A700

Inspiration

The challenge!!! and well the beauty of the frog. I find them gorgeous!

Editing

I increased the saturation and contrast to make the greens pop.

In my camera bag

Again, this is an old photo. I started my photography journey in 08 and shot the Sony A350 and A700. I switched to Canon in 2011. In my bag now is the Canon 1DX, 5DMarkIV, R and R5. Go to lens are my 100mm macro, 35 1.2, 85 1.4 (prefer over the 1.2) 200f2. (I have a few others but these are my favs).

Feedback

Sounds silly but... keep your camera to your eye. Once you make eye contact they are in the water :) Oh, and move super slow!!!
