Brown tree frog

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted September 20, 2010444 views23 comments

I think this is Romer's Tree Frog (Philautus romeri) which is an endemic species found only in HK. It is the smallest frog in HK and this one is just over 1 cm long.

d90 105mm F29 3sec iso640, fill light with nokia phone LED flashlight (blueish tinge), tripod cable release, cropped 50%

Very tiny fellow, looks great even with your 50% chop Gary.
The fill with your nokia phone LED sounds interesting, you adapt well..
Please don't me me he turned into a prince right after you took this, that would involve a kiss

I especially like the BG and perch here
