Frogs - Some Perspectives


Last week end and today I spent some time photographing frogs near a pond at Ramnagar. There were many at a pond. After thinking about what to do last week I decided to make an image of frog in water emphasizing its eyes and it hanging like posture in water. Today I went there again - not sure how I wanted to photograph it again. A thought occurred to me about emphasizing its eyes again - but differently this time. I made a ring using my fingers of the left hand controlled sunlight light falling on the frog to create a kind of natural burning effect. The result is the image below - quite satisfied with what I got. No photoshop tricks here in particular burning. Post processing is limited to levels and sharpening.

I am increasingly being convinced that I have all I need to make some unique images - but often the previous baggage of formulas of making images of nature pulls us down.
