Red Eye Tree Frog on a Red Boat

Alan Goldberg

This is everyone's favorite frog -- the red eye tree frog. Jim photographed it originally with a vertical composition, and then in Photoshop he rotated the image 90 degrees clockwise (Image > rotate > 90CW). Jim then applied the plug-in Flood (made by flamingpear.com) to add a realistic reflection. All of the macro images done at his recent workshop were taken with a ring flash because of the way the light wraps around the small subjects. The lens is set to f/32 for maximum depth of field, the camera is set to manual exposure mode, and the flash is set to ETTL which adjusts the exposure perfectly. This was handheld, and the shutter speed was the sync speed -- 1/250th of a second.  Everyone loves a frog floating on a red boat!
