Dainty Tree Frog, Daintree National Park, Queensland, AustraliaThis is an old one from my trip to Australia back in November of 2006. In fact, it’s one of the first frogs that I photographed with my original macro set up — which at the time consisted of a Nikon 80-200mm lens with a Canon 500D close up filter and two Nikon SB-800 flash units. This was in the backyard of a lodge I was staying at in Daintree National Park in the tropical northeastern corner of the country. I realized that I could take photos in the middle of the night, but with a nice green background, could make it almost look like mid-day. The little green frog is called a dainty tree frog, also known as the graceful tree frog.
