Last weekend I went out to mow the lawn and happened upon this little Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla). I scooped it up to save it from the mower and of course to take the opportunity to take some photos for my blog. I opted to take it into the house and photograph it in a white box. It would have been nice to have photographed it in its natural surroundings, but it wasn’t likely to pose for me after being picked-up. Besides, I thought that the soft lighting of the white box would make for some nice pictures while the box itself would help contain the critter during the shoot. Olympus OM-D E-M5; Zuiko 12-50mm ƒ/3.5-6.3 zoom and Zuiko 35mm macro; manual exposure (F11-16 @ 1/125 sec); Vivitar 283 flash and VP-1 Vari-power adapter (1/16 power); ISO: 200 Cheers, EC www.macrocritters.wordpress.comtreefrog white 3 sharp copyright ernie cooper 2013_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr treefrog white sharp copyright ernie cooper 2013_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr

Very impressing, like always! Would love to some pictures of an Ornithoptera paradisea male in the white box.

Actually, I bet some high magnification photos of their wing scales would be interesting... Cheers, EC www.macrocritters.wordpress.com
