Cape Dwarf Chameleon – Bradypodion pumilum – Western Cape, South Africa
Dwarf Tree Frog
With Earth as the leader, the planets of the Solar System have turned against poor Pluto excluding him from their group of planets. He is now demoted to a dwarf planet. This contemporary themed image is build upon events in which Pluto was degraded and reclassified to a dwarf planet. It is now no longer part of the classic line of planets in our Solar System as I’ve been used to. It’s strange when you’ve been able to memorize the planets ever since you were a kid and for the future will have to leave this little icy rock out. I liked doing a smaller and less extensive project for a change. I had this simple idea, and worked on/off for about a week before completing this. I had great fun stuffing as many little funny details into the image as I could, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! Visit MathiasPedersen.com to see more of my artwork.
Apis florea - the honey produced by these tiny wild bees is highly sought after and may bring as much as $50$100 (US) for a liter jar. These guys live in the window well of my house here in Al Ain City – they move the hive periodically but stay in the same area - I currently have about 3 of these hives around my house here in the UAE. / Frequently people will go through neighborhoods following the little bees to try to find their hives. I have had several folks wanting to cut the hives at my house - they say they leave part of it and the bees will rebuild it, But hey - they built it let them keep it - so they are safe at my house.

A cute house in my town
I found this tiny little amphibian in a delicate pink rose blossom in the garden of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club. friend at Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia, on a BBQ and photography day in autumn. The ‘Pretty in Pink’ li’l poser sat quite well for this portrait and was most patient as I jostled about trying to get the best angle, light and exposure. My subject is a very fine specimen of Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , quite a common species along the eastern coast of this wide brown land. After a long very wet summer they could be found in great abundance around the rather extensive property and I had a great time hunting around for good subjects. 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.

I took this one today and it turned out with the usual blue and whites…I wanted something different and so I had a fiddle with it in Photoshop Elements 4.0 I’m really not sure what I did to get it to this place….but I think it turned out OK. / I added a few layers, inverted one, multiplied them,added gradients – all sorts of fun stuff and this is what happened. I doubt I could do it again if I tried. / What do you think??? / / / / / / /
False colour (swapped the Red and Blue channels) is about all that was done to this infrared picture of a palm tree. It’s huge yet suddenly I feel like one of the little people in a giant’s daisy field. Look closely and you’lll see a street light. I could have removed it but it’s a nice reminder that things are not as they seem.

One of the blast doors on the exits from the main engine at the abandoned gas turbine testing and reasearch facility. If you are a fan of Red Dwarf you might be interested to know that this is the frozen door that Lister blows open in the Epideme episode. A short clip of it is on Youtube which can be seen here
A spectacular flowstone formation dwarfs a cave explorer in an enormous stream cave in western Thailand. The cave, Tham Lum Khao Ngu, is located in a National Park of the same name in Kanchanaburi Province west of Bangkok. The lighting is natural sunlight filtering into the cave from an upstream entrance and a karst window downstream. The caver is in the picture to give the formation scale. The picture was taken with a Nikon FM2 set on a tripod with shutter release cable and an exposure of about 2 seconds, using Kodachrome film.
Statistically 6 out of 7 dwarfs aren’t happy
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.

The Subject: / This li’l green froggy, all 2.5cm (1 inch) of him, is a lovely specimen of Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , a native amphibian and very common in my part of Australia. / An amazing fact I discovered recently was that these frogs which are usually green can also be brown or a mixture of green and brown and can change their colour depending on their environment. The Location: / On the grounds of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at the sleepy little community of Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia. The Making of ‘Bend Over backwards’: / I spotted him deep inside the green, cool leaves and stems of a clump of Agapanthus. / Even though the frog was in a patch of bright light its right side was in shadow hence the pop-up flash with the 1/200sec shutter speed. / As I slowly and carefully worked my camera deeper into the foliage to get as close as I could, he turned his front feet inward and bent backwards so far, the skin on his back wrinkled! I knew he was ready to jump so I quickly focussed and made the shot. / As soon as I moved again he was off, leaping even deeper into cover. / Fuji S9600: Macro, Manual settings of f/3.8 @ 1/2000sec, ISO100, Manual focus, Pop-up flash at lowest power, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

Physical description: The muzzle of the dwarf crocodile is broad, blunt, and short; hence the name “Broadfronted.” It measures at about 1.20 meters in length; however, some have reached lengths of 1.50-1.80 meters. The dwarf crocodile gets its name because it is the smallest of all crocodiles. With the largest crocodile reaching lengths of 27 feet and weigh up to a ton, it is easy to see how a crocodile of about 3 feet could be dubbed “dwarf.” Alligators and crocodiles are easily confused and exhibit several major physical differences. Alligators have broader heads and blunter snouts. Their lower teeth fit inside the edge of the upper jaw and cannot be seen when the lipless mouth is closed. The crocodile’s fourth tooth in each side of the lower jaw is located lying in a notch in the upper jaw and is always visible. The teeth are used for seizing and holding prey instead of for chewing. They are replaced continuously as new ones grow up, forcing old ones out. Like all crocodiles, the dwarf has rigid teeth and tough scales, which cover the body. During early years of existence, the dwarf crocodile is yellow with a brown tint. The infant dwarf crocodile also has black spots on its belly and back. However, with age, the dwarf crocodile grows to resemble other forms of crocodiles in color. By maturity, the dwarf crocodile is dark brown or black. The scales become harder and the bony palates that protect the back are more dense. RANGE: West Africa
