Common green frog

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Common green frog

Postby blacknstormy on Fri Oct 21, 2005 5:53 pm

Hi all - went out in the glorious rain last night looking for frogs :) This is a shot of the common sedgefrog, or Litoria fallax (I call it the little shit frog, 'cos it is everywhere!!!)

Marvellous Rel. :D

Not only a sweet exposure but a great composition as well. The Litoria may be everywhere but shots like this are pretty rare. Just one more for those rather busy walls of yours!

You certainly have an amazing talent in your photogaphs of critters that always run away when I approach them. Kermit is a winner :D

Wow ..... I liked the photo, but didn't expect such a great reaction. You've made my night :)

I highly recommend everyone goes out after the next storm and take shots of frogs. It is great fun :) The easiest trick is (a) either follow the frog call, and track down the frog (can take a bit of time, and a slight knack, or (b) take out a torch, put it up to your shoulder so your eye is in line with the beam ( looking along the beam away from you) and look for eyeshine. You'll often pick up spiders (well, always) but you'll soon be able to tell the difference between insect eyeshine, and vertebrate eyeshine.

My challenge to you :) ;)

That is one awesome photo there!

I liked your pobblebonk photo as well.

We used to have a pobblebonk iving around our fishpond but sadly, he or she seems to have moved on.

Is there a humane way and painless way of getting rid of canetoads apart from freezing them?

Keep the nature photos coming blacknstormy!

Cheers
