Description
Canon 10D + Sigma 105mm EX Macro (taken, for once, with the flash *shock horror*)
ISO 200 f6.7 1/200
For the photography challenge a while ago (Wet, I believe) I took some shots of frog-spawn. Here is the result. This little chap could sit on the tip of my index finger and still have room to relax. I love baby frogs...but as the title says...it's a Big Bad World out there...and I hope it has the strength to survive.
And for no particular reason, I'm going to post the lyrics to a song that, to me, sums up many of my thoughts about photography.
Gold Dust - Tori Amos
Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year
I was here
I was here
Whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up we
go along
You said
You raced from Langley
pulling me underneath
a Cherry Blossom
canopy
Do I Have
Of course I have
Beneath my raincoat
I have your photographs
And the sun on your
Face
I'm freezing that frame
And somewhere Alfie cries
and says Enjoy his every smile
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars
How did it go so fast
you'll say
as we are looking
back
and then we'll
understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands
Sights and Sounds
pull me back down
another year
I was here
I was here
Gaslights
Glow in the street
flickering past
Twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along
And we make it up
as we go along
We make it up as we go along
Letting names
Hang in the
Air
What color hair
auburn crimson
Autumn knowingly
Stared
and the day that
She came
I'm freezing that
Frame
I'm freezing that frame
And somewhere Alfie
smiles
and says Enjoy her
every cry
You can see in the
dark
Through the eyes
Of Laura Mars
How did it go so
Fast
You'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
We held gold dust
in our
hands
in our
hands
Thanks for viewing

Cute frog. A metallic one? This baby looks very bored. Maybe is she waiting for something changing in her life ;) I'm really amaze to see how you succeed in giving personnality to your subjects!

looks like a wee sculpture. Life itself should carry a warning label..."Caution, cuts to the quick when least expected". love the image dude!

"i remember once walking out hand in hand with a boy i knew, and it was summer, and suddenly before us was a field of gold. gold as far as you could see. we knew we'de be rich for ever. we filled our pockets and our hair. we were rolled in gold. we ran through the field laughing and our legs and feet were coated in yellow dust, so that we were like golden statues or golden gods. he kissed my feet, the boy i was with, and when he smiled, he had a gold tooth. it was only a field of buttercups, but we were young." (winterson, the powerbook) supplement for your(toris) words:) and wonderful shot! to make world a bit better place:)

Excellent shot, very well seen...

Yet another excellent capture. I tried once to shoot a tree frog but he would never stay still and it was really bad light...not a good result...kinda psychedelic.

This reminds me of grade 10 Science class... I wasn't the only one who refused to dissect the froggies! This one is much cuter than my fermaldahyde-frozen pal. Little tail! Great shot, but I'd like to have seen his cute little toady face.
little_miss_mortisha
amazing picture, and amazing song. I feel exactly the same. Everything about this picture is perfect, the lighting, the angle everything! Lets hope he grows big and strong and you can take a photo of him when hes bigger :)
