I love the pictures,very nice. I have a question if it is ok. This is in relation to the awesome frog picture.
I do not have a macro lens and typically shoot around the yard closeups
with my 18-55 and standard on camera flash being to lazy to drag out flashes and without a ring flash and / or macro. My question is about your background.
The t’shirt in this case was a wonderful idea and something I never thought of as I am dragging my tripod around to my budeilia for the next butterfly or bee.
I typically use rear curtain sync, and then under-expose my shot for a black bckgrnds.
my question is this. The frog shot is awesome, in your opinion do you think the shot would suffer if shot the way I explained? and if so in what ways?
Again great pictures I wish I had frogs that bright in my neck of the woods.
my front yard early evening (plenty of sunlight) ?

Would love your input. Thankyou.
