Photography Frogs

[colin C]

In a previous thread "Squidgy Meat Pies", I mentioned that one of the frogs jumped and landed on my macro lens. Not to be outdone, the other frog did the same.

Obviously, I had no record of this, as my lens was looking at an empty set where there were previously frogs. However, I contacted a couple of the other photographers and one of them captured the event and I am pleased to show the results here.

Re: Photography Frogs

They make my old (non IS) macro lens look positively huge.

Re: Photography Frogs

Well done Colin

Thanks Tom, but my only contribution was to be there. Once the frogs jumped onto my lens, I couldn't even take a photo ........... I was in the hands of others. Never the less, an interesting event and a good indication that the frogs weren't under any stress.

Re: Photography Frogs

It's a well known fact that frogs like to jump on to Canon lenses - though it's equally well known that they will always jump away from a Nikon lens.

Re: Photography Frogs

Same thing happened to me some time ago. Was with a group trying to photograph a barn owl flying between two kneeling models, but when it was released, it flew straight to me and landed on my telephoto lens. Obviously I couldn't get the shot but someone else did, so it's now my Flickr/facebook avatar.

Re: Photography Frogs

I bow to your knowledge and wisdom Miles.

There was a Nikon user present and the Frogs backed away from him. Also, when I contacted the other togs for a photo of the Frogs on my lens, his shots didn't come out.

Frogs know stuff!
