Nighttime photography (macro photography)

in #photography7 years ago

Tonight, I was able to get some really good shots of a couple of frogs, moths and beetles. All shots were taken using a Canon 80D camera.

The first set of photos are of the frogs, using their suction cups on their hands to stay firmly attached to my window:

The next of photos is of the beetle:

The last set of photos is of the moth hanging on a plant. I thought the shine coming off it's eye reminded me of a small version of the Milky Way Galaxy, shining brightly like billions of stars in a small cluster:

Night offers just as many opportunities for photography. If you have a light source, the opportunity is even better! Hope you've enjoyed.

Great shots for night time macro!Thank you for sharing!Keep up the great work.

Is the frog climbing vertically? I love the texture I never touched a frog I'm assuming they're slimy.

Wow I was going to ask if you caught the frog before taking the pictures? The habitat looks quite not like the forest?
However, it's certainly amazing photography, catching it like that in different stages

@josediccus these shots were taken outside my house, which happens to be about a 1/4 of a mile near some forest area. So I often get amphibians and snakes near my house. They just so happened to hop onto my window this evening. I heard a noise hit my window, so I went outside and saw the frogs. Went back inside and grabbed my camera.

Okay I understand now. it's fantastic, never seen quite a beautiful animal photography as this

Thank you!

Really interesting photos. I am biologist and I love herpetology, frogs are beautiful amphibians .
