garden frogs at night

[colin uk]

Two night shots of frogs from my garden pond.
I would like comments and any suggestions how I can improve future sessions. I have posted the camera settings with the photos.

Those are actually pretty darn good. Tough subject and tough to light correctly.

Great subjects. I love the compositon of #2. Great reflection on the water.

Some suggestions: I would crop #1 to remove the top. Furthermore, they do not appear to be very sharp to me. But... I know how difficult that is in the dark. Maybe you could use exposure bracketing next time?

Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

Here is another shot taken on the same evening.
