A few creature close ups from Roma Street Parklands

Hello,

Just finished processing a few images from a recent trip to Roma Street Parklands in the centre of Brisbane – a lovely, welcoming, green oasis in contrast to the stark glass and concrete edifices straining upwards.

The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog was around 2 to 3 cms long and some 1½ to 2 metres away. Sadly, not even the Image Stabilizer (IS) on the Canon lens could predict the motion of the grass stem swaying in the breeze, so I had to squeeze the shutter release at the peak or trough of the swaying movement, where the frog was momentarily stationary.

The EWD was perched atop a rock under heavy shade so I used a burst of auto flash to fill in the shadows.

Thanks for looking!

Dennis
