RE: Frog Room Friday!- A Poison Dart Frog Update(Original Pictures from my Collection)

in #animals7 years ago

Tim these pics are awesome! The name strawberry blue jeans is perfect. Can I ask what lens you're shooting with? These are so close and crisp! Looking forward to learning more from you!

Thank you so much!
Honestly I appreciate the kind words, but 52% of the time I don’t know what I’m doing with a camera. I just get lucky. Ha! These pics were shot with a Canon T5, and 18-55 kit lens.
I have been dabbling for some time, but now I need to decide if I’m going to upgrade my camera, or get a computer capable of processing.....hmmm decisions!

I plan on doing a frog room post every Friday(if the little ones cooperate) so please watch for more!

Thanks again for the compliments!!!

No way I can't believe you took those with the kit lens! The rebel and 18-55 kit lens were my first digital photography experience. Those frogs must trust you to get so close! You really look like you know what you're doing!

Thank you! :)
I’m practically in the tanks a few times a week, so occasionally they give me a great opportunity.
I want to upgrade, but I’m not sure what direction to go, and what would be a good next level cam.

I get a lot of my friends asking me what camera they should get next and I can't help but tell you what my friends told me: If you're happy with the canon system, then don't get a new camera, get a new lens. I thought you were using a macro lens in your shots, maybe that might be something fun to try out with the frogs? It's also a good idea to rent a lens before you buy it. I've used borrowlenses.com a lot in the past, especially when I was building my kit.

Thanks for the advice!
I didn’t even know you could rent lenses...I need to check it out!
