White box photographs of a Pacific tree frog

[Ecooper]

Last weekend I went out to mow the lawn and happened upon this little Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla). I scooped it up to save it from the mower and of course to take the opportunity to take some photos for my blog. I opted to take it into the house and photograph it in a white box. It would have been nice to have photographed it in its natural surroundings, but it wasn’t likely to pose for me after being picked-up. Besides, I thought that the soft lighting of the white box would make for some nice pictures while the box itself would help contain the critter during the shoot.

Cheers,

It was tempting to keep it a while, but I wasn't set up for it. Plus I know a great spot to find them easily, so I just fed it to my cat.

...just joking! I let it go back in the garden.
