MACROPHOTOGRAPHY - A FROG IN FEBRUARY

in nature •  7 years ago 

Who doesn't love a Gray Treefrog when they see one?


The Gray Treefrog AKA Hyla versicolor is an incredible specimen and a longtime friend of Papa's. Since my hobbies and interests are fairly well known, the young son of @Jaguarlife called me over to show me something special today, and this was it! I've heard a lot of frogs already this year, but this is the first treefrog I've actually seen in 2018. Being a big fan of reptiles and amphibians, I get to see my little friends more months out of the year down here, and that's a blessing!

THE GRAY TREEFROG

I'm still figuring things out with the camera and macro lens, but I think that these are a few of my favorite photos from today. Enjoy them!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

The frog must be slow and friendly. You even managed to use leaves as a frame. Many people think that it's unhealthy to handle frogs and their urine can cause warts. I never believed it as a child but what do you think? Is it just a myth? Thanks for sharing. Nice shots by the way!

Your macro skillz are spot on! Cool frog...

Really? Thanks, I'm trying!

I think they're pretty good. Camera does the bulk of the work, but you still have to have interesting subject matter and proper lighting and setup. Outside lighting is always great...

Yeah, I thought it was probably the camera and lens too.

hahahahahahaa @papa-pepper, i really don't like frog but i am having a rethink with "your" frog here, this one sure looks "beautiful" Is that frog on your nose?

cute frog and good shot

Those are so cool! Thank you for that!

Welcome

Hello Papa

I just spotted where our difference lies — frogs. I hate them right from childhood because superstitious had it frogs cause human beings to develop swollen feet. Maybe true; may be false but that was the origin of my hatred for them. Hahaba

@eurogee of @euronation community

Please do not hate my frog.

Thanks for checking it out anyway, and for being honest!

Yes sire! ✌️😀

I also have a toad, but I do not dare to hold, if papa-pepper really a brave.

Most are not bad to hold.

Such great photos! I didn't see him in the proof photo... I think he blended in with the tree.

LOL - C'mon man!

I like posting. @ papa-pepper

Thank you!

Great photography. Ur camera so sharp. Amazing creature

I like the photo of you and the frog on your nose the best...

Thank you, he smelled like a winner!

wow your frogs are so naughty @papa-pepper do you feel comfortable with a frog sticking on your nose ?

I feel comfortable. Only so much could go wrong.

very nice photos.

Thanks!

I've seen a couple of frogs but I've never known the type. Cool set of photos, @papa-pepper!

This type is really cool and can change colors too!

What a cute little guy! The frog is cool too lol!

LOL! Too funny!

terrific & encouraging!

Hello steemit

superb photography....its creativity...you looking so funny@papa-pepper

Your macro photography skill are awesome and i really like the last picture of this post😂😂

I'm trying to learn, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the last photo!

Wow ... you are not afraid of the frogs that cause the source of this disease, you very dare put your frog on nose. Happy working @papa-pepper😊

No disease from this frog!

Thank god😊

Honestly any kind of tree frog would be pretty cool for me to see! Awesome macro shots :).

Wow..amazing photography i appreciate yournatural thanks for sharing this post best of luck..resteemit..

Thank you.

This is such a cure frog i just love this little animal

Even small, simple things have breathtaking beauty. Nice job with the photography.

hahaha ,, laugh I see it,
I am very amused by this frog.

Very cool photography I want to be like that

Though am not a fan of amphibians, this creature like chameleon-changes color with temperature or substrate color. Their call is more melodic than the Cope's

That proof made me laugh. Haha. You have infected me with the proof of a thing as i even used it in my last post. Hahaha. You captured the image so well. You really brought the beauty to full glare. Well done Papa.

nice photography dear

I get it! I finally met some Cane Toads last year. HUGE!

Oh my goodness. I don't like frogs although your pictures are nice but I really don't like frogs. It gives me the chills. It reminds of my boarding school days.

I am glad that while you do not like frogs, you still took the time to look at my photos. Thank you very much for that.

OMG, he is so tiny. I'm wondering how he let you take such fabulous shots because as per my experiences with frogs, they are not catch-able ;)
Amazing clicks and this is the first time in my life I am seeing grey tree frog :)

I've spent all life capturing these guys, so I have a lot of experience.

"Guys", good word to give them honor :)
Amazing those were. :)

So patient for waiting... nice DOP anyway

Great picture Man, as always..

Haha, I like this frog, looks funny! :D

These are amazing Photos @papa-pepper. Never ever thought I'd enjoy knowledge on frogs..

I see your place suitable for tour & adventure. Handsome/beautiful frogie don't know if it a male or female or an hermaphrodite.

videotogif_2018.02.11_18.23.14.gif

tremendo disparo amigo, primera vez que veo esa especie y muy interesante, seguro visitaré al amigo @Jaguarlife tal vez vea mas fotografías, saludos.

Muchas gracias. Realmente disfruto las ranas

@Jaguarlife no comenzó a publicar, pero sí tiene una cuenta.

Here in Venezuela there are many varieties of frogs, they are very colorful and beautiful, but unfortunately many people fear him or have phobia, something similar to the relationship with snakes. Thank you for your contribution to the community. Greetings.

Too many people fear them here too.

Very good, if in local language we are called with "cangguek po'p"

Interesting. Thank you.

odd...I've never thought to use love and frog in the same sentence.
How thoughtless of me.

Really?

nope...I've never been a frog kissing

Amazing pictures of the frog, wish I could get shots like that :)

Wao! Que hermoso amigo

That's an awesome selfie!
In California there is a similar frog called the pacific coast tree frog.
Thanks for sharing the cool photos!

so cute... and so ugly...
