what camera/lense do u use?

Canon 5D mark 1 12.8mp DSLR camera with Tamron 28-75mm lens.

Very nice photos. Might I suggest using a dark colored container instead of the white one - it will look so much more natural. Awesome looking frog though - he's very healthy.

Thanks

That's my thought as well but don't have one on hand nor sure where I can find one that will be shallow and wide enough.

My camera was expensive when first came out but I got mines used for $1200 almost two years ago.

I've been meaning to use my new Nikon D3100, but when I purchased it, I bought a 55-300mm and a 150-600mm Telephoto lenses (Over 2 grand just in lenses lol) as I use it primarily for long distance wildlife photography, and at a minimum shooting range of 20ft with my smallest lens, it makes photographing a frog quite daunting... lol

I'll have to pick up a macro lens...

lol lenses will take the biggest chunks out of your wallet for sure. I wanted to crossover to Nikon last year but couldn't get my camera stuff sold.

I might add the Tamron 90mm macro lens to my kit in the future, my Sigma 150mm is a bit long for most fish and frog rooms.

Yeah, used Camera equipment is hard to sell. BTW, your photos are amazing!

Eel noob, you are very creative and great coordination with colors. Those will make great living room pics and frog room,or post cards. The list is endless. Good job.

I would of gotten everything sold if I went with selling online but I like to do my transactions locally.

Thanks for complimentary comment.

To be honest I have never printed out any of my animals photos before, even they are my main focus.

Pretty frog and goes nicely with the red

Another option for a darker container is a glass aquarium. This would work especially well for the 'above' shots if you have an open frame style of stand or can safely position it between two tables so the background of the floor is far away or otherwise not hit by your light. Or put a piece of black felt below it. Or whatever colour you'd like. Reflections off the glass should be pretty minimal or non-existant with the lighting setup you have here. In the other angles it would be trickier to make this seamless though, you'd need to avoid having any edges of the tank visible so you might need a pretty big tank as that looks like a pretty big frog!

A d50! That's getting old in the tooth but the sensor is still a beauty and capable of great stuff and should be pretty darn cheap these days. Enjoy it!

[Eel Noob]

good stuff man, I "liked" your pics, that's a badass frog and some sick photo taking skills

Thanks for kind words.

You could paint that white one black. Nice beast by the way

Thanks.

Going to have a look around Home Depot and Menards first to see if they have anything. If not I might consider doing that.

they are really nice picture's

cheers spencer...............

Thanks

I give that frog an easy 10/10. What a beauty!

Thanks.

I have seen that technique being used with crested geckos. Just haven't tried it out myself.
