Striped Marsh Frog

[Mad Aussie]

On a nightwalk with my brother and nephew we found some of these little guys. Fast little guys, and great at disappearing in the grass. Not bad for a frog about 100mm long.

Nice capture. That makes him a pretty descent sized frog.

[Mad Aussie]

Yeh that's what I thought AntZ.

Great shot! Love the Kermit face! wonderful colors to boot. You said this was another night shot? Man, do you ever shoot during the day, or is that out now ?????

On the nightwalk (here in Australia) I was using my usual clamp on night light set as per the thread. But you asked if I ever shoot during the day anymore ... to which I replied in NZ (see my NZ thread) I didn't shoot at night at all ... so therefore ... yes ... I do shoot during the day still :)

:) I did! I had to grab him out of the grass and place him in the open to get the shot.

Once upon a time there was a right dopey bugger from Mississauga who thought Princes came from frogs ... ;)

Nice work MA. I ilke the "shine"/ "gloss" that gives him that wet look, if you know what I mean

Very cool shot, very crisp and I too love his shininess. :)

[Mad Aussie]

Thanks JAS and Runmonty :)
