Malaysian Jumping Frog

[digiman]

I'm not a huge fan of animals in captivity, but we went to Amazonia, a "Rainforest" near Glasgow, today. This is the only vaguely acceptable photo from todays 60 odd images. They were all shot through glass, at an ISO higher than my camera can handle, with an aperture that was far too open, and a shutter speed that was a bit too slow! Apart from that, the conditions were perfect

I think you done well Garry. Never been to the place. I feel your frustrations though after going to Edinburgh Zoo.

Cheers Paul. It's never going to be ideal conditions shooting animals indoors, but it's the closest I'll probably ever get to them! It's quite a good place. Part of M&Ds. Tiny but a good selection of beasties! I was a bit bothered about the humidity with my camera but all was good.

Re: Malaysian Jumping Frog

Very nice shot, and all the better considering the conditions. I can vouch for the humidity in there, having visited it a few years ago.

Cheers for your comments John.

Just realised that I called this a 'jumping' frog, when it should be a 'flying' frog! Oops! Sorry wee guy!

Re: Malaysian Jumping Frog

Well made image, even more so given that you were shooting through glass, well done

Nice image, did you have to clone out the fingerprints.
