I like number 2 since this is the macro section of UHH. But, if I had to select one for the fair, number 1 is the way to go. The foliage puts the little guy in context and I think it's the better and more interesting shot.
#2 is my favorite also.

Nothing fancy for the lighting. I was just using the built in flash on the camera. (I am still waiting for the diffuser I ordered. I tried using my foam cup, but the cup reflected in the frogs eye and looked strange.) The lens is a Vivitar 100mm.Love your "frog studio" If i had to chose one for the fair, I would definately chose 1. I agree the grass adds to the pic. Nice work. what lens and lighting did you use?

Two outstanding shots and I love that studio. :thumbup:
Thank you. It is just a tomato box with some sides of mount board (to keep the subject in the box when I raise the lid to shoot).

Thank you, I put it together fairly fast. I should have probably taken a little more thought to it. He also chose where he was going to pose. He is now living out back in the pond and woods. If I see him again I will try to get some more shots. He is fast and slippery though. :-DThere you go, you got your frog! Nice shots. I agree, #1 for the fair. It looks nice tucked away in the grass and the moss. If he is still available as your model, perhaps you could replicate #1 with more foliage in the background to eliminate that dark spot with the horizontal white line. It would look even more natural. It's still a cool shot though, and should place well at the fair.
