In the Spotlight
LARGER VIEW PLEASE
This handsome little frog may only be as big as your thumb but he certainly makes a big impression in the spotlight inside a rose bush. An amazing fact I discovered recently was that these frogs can also be brown or a mixture of green and brown and can change their colour depending on their environment.
He is a Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , about 2.5cm (1 inch) long was photographed beside a pond at a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day.
Fuji S9600: Macro, Manual settings of f/11 @ 1/60sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Low powered diffused flash, Hand held.
