Frog's Odyssey

Pin It
Frog Photo Two Frogs falling
Fell from its lair.
A frog and a butterfly
Unfamiliar faces it met
a frog on a beetle
He grabs a ride
frog on a beetle
After a long travel
frog sleeping hug
It meet thy fate


The photo where the frog is riding a beetle is called: The Knight and His Steed.

"This picture was taken in a natural but controlled environment. There are pictures that can not be done in nature or that would imply a very high cost of both time and money, that's why photography workshops are run conducted at strategic locations and bringing EVERYONE who is interested, the basic notions (lighting, camera handling, composition, etc...) or the specimens, and afford them the opportunity to take pictures like this.

Although controlled, this shot was not prepared at all, I was performing a workshop with the agalychnis callidryas treefrog from Costa Rica when the frog managed to jump to the branch where this huge titan was sleeping...I had my gear ready so I only had to change a few settings and shoot...the rest is history." - Nicolas Reusens Boden
