@thebillet: I only use a bridge camera, Canon sx30is. It was on auto with the exception of white balance which was set to warm. Only tweaks were to crop the empty space, get rid of the camera noise & put a simple black border round it so it's appx 80% as taken with only those minor tweaks. Mind you I did get slightly wet laying flat on my tummy on the edge of the pool so I got down to his level lol.

I hate frogs, they physically leap at me from our pond - I do not jest.

I was once weeding the rockery wearing only a vest-type top as it was hot....a bloomin' frog leapt out and had I not been so well-endowed in the bazzunker region, the little sod would have been down there........he bounced off my ample bosoms and beat a hasty retreat leaving me having palpitations and cold sweats.....

Slimy critters....eeeeeuuuuwwww.: :)

Post by: thebillet on October 05, 2011, 23:10:08 PM: Thanks for the info, I too use a bridge camera and when you see results as good as this one it makes you wonder if it is worth all the hassle of a big slr. Well done again.
