Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog - Brown Form)

G’day Max,

Thank you for being first to spot this li’l brown hopper and for leaving your very generous comment. Much appreciated mate.

It is surprising just how close you can get to these little fellas before they “hop off” on you. With this one I could even put my finger behind the stem and make the frog come around for a profile shot. Slow, steady movement usually does it.

If I had a good DSLR with an equally good close-up lens I could sit back and snipe these critters from a decent distance but for subjects this size, even on Macro Mode I have to get very close. I may bag one good shot out of ten but I just love the challenge.
The biggest problem is getting the two planes of the lens as parallel as possible to the two planes of the subject due to the very shallow depth of field in close-up photography even when using a very small aperture.

G’day Stevie,

Many thanks for that great wrap for this amphibious effort. So glad you like my little brown friend.

I find all my subjects by being where they live then walking around and around with my eyes peeled until I spot something – if I am lucky.
This one was different thoough. A camera club mate was at the edge of the pond with a huge Nikon and an even larger lens, picking off dragonflies. He spotted it and showed me where it was. ;-)

G’day Cory,

These are not as common as the little green tree frogs around here. That and their colouring makes them a lot harder to find.

A very big THANK YOU for leaving your most encouraging ”...stunning…” wrap for my posing amphibian.
