I only saw two of these Uakari poison frogs while in Peru earlier in the year. I had hoped to capture some wide angle macro shots, but the conditions weren’t right and the two frogs were a bit more camera shy than most tree frogs and poison dart frogs that I’ve photographed in the past. I resorted to my 105mm macro and flash to capture this one. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 105mm macro lens, ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, Godox V860iii flash with Westcott soft box.
That it does. Although from the other angle, you see that the red goes all the way down the back. These guys are very small. About the size of a thumbnail.

Absolutely beautiful shot!!
Thanks Alan. Always nice to get the macro out for a different perspective.
So tiny, looks like he’s wearing a red helmet!!
