Cane Toad

[SuperFly]

Hi,

Found this little guy outside our cabin while on holidays, although I recently read an article in UK's PM about taking better pictures of toads/frogs, i didnt have this knowledge back when i took this photo, used the 550EX pointed up with one of those omnibounce diffuser, i took a number of shots, but i think this one was the best as far as sharpness and how i wanted the DOF to be seen.

I'm sure composition could've been much better, but i'll definitely look out for that next time.

I feel i am progressing - somewhat slowly, but i can see some improvement in my pictures from when i first got the camera (a year ago) till now, many thanks to loads of people on this forum and their posts.

Very nice shot.Great detail :cool:

Um sorry to ask(newbie time :lol: )how do i get the EXIF information from my pics ?

Hi Alan,

Most image viewing programs should have an option to "show info" or something along those lines... from there you can pick up all the exif information.

An application which I use often is called exifer and may be found at the following site:

It's a dedicated exif pulling program.

Thanks.

Heya,

Thanks all for the comments guys, I must say, the more i look at this image, the more i think it's one of my better photos right now :o

Thanks reewik, i think that i would have liked to see more colour in the background, probably some green? not sure...

In any case, it's gonna be hard to find any frogs/toads around here... back to living in the desert, i'll have to search for some other critters :)

I really don't see how that shot could be any clearer. I think it's perfect. Well done.

Thanks snakeman55,

Incidently, site was down for couple hours but as of 5 minutes ago, it's back up - apologies for anyone who got the big X while i was performing some maintenance.
