Two nights ago it started to rain lightly. It hit me that it had been very warm the previous day as well as this day. I went out side and sure enough, I could hear movement on the leaf litter in the woods around the house. Careful inspection proved the noise to be Upland Chorus Frog - Pseudacris feriarum emerging from their winter respite. This fellow agreed to come inside for a photo shoot. A little moss and water spray and we were all set. I tamed the reflections from the water using cross-polarization flash but, I didn't maximize the effect. I wanted this little fellow to look moist and not plastic. He happily went back to the woods no worse for the ordeal. EOS 1Ds, 180mm macro, 550 and 420 EX with polarizing film, circular polarizer on the lens. ISO 200, 1/200 sec, f/22. Converted with C1SE and in PS cropped slightly to 4x5, levels, color adjust (it was a little blue from the filters) and USM, and I cloned out the second flash hight light from the eye. Comments welcome, Edit: Oops, I just noticed that this is not a spring peeper. This is the first photo that I have gotten of this species.
