Finally got themLitoria brevipalmata - the rare green-thighed frog. Only comes out after torrential rains to breed (rainfall over 50mm in a 24 hour period). Between breeding events - no one knows
Litoria tyleri - the southern laughing tree frog - just too cute Litoria fallax - common sedge frog - common as muck, but still a cutey honestly - we are just good friends Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

Nice shots, Rel.
Is your white balance set correctly? The L. fallax look a little yellow unless they are significantly different to the ones we get which are a deep green. Great pose on the L. brevipalmata. While the background is quite busy, I don't think it takes away from the photo at all. The L. tyleri is excellent, especially getting him with his throat expanded. Both L. fallax are great. The first one because he's really calling hard and the second one because you have a pair getting ready.
Thanks guys
Andrew - fallax are really variable in colour - you can go from a brilliant emerald green, through yellow and into browns, and all the combinations in between... this one really was quite yellow Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

The brevi's we've been waiting for for ages !!! This is the same breeding pond that we found a few years ago, and have received some funding to do some management work on the site, and some public education (eventually).... last night wasn't for us though .... took down the photographer from the Queensland museum - and pretty much let him take all the shots of the brevis - I was so chuffed with the original brevi shot back in the dark ages that I didn't mind so much This is just one that I sneaked in while we were wandering around in knee deep pool He was sitting in a thicket of grass (hence the background), but I didn't want to disturb him too much.

Hmmm... just gotten used to snow and ice. Not sure how I'd go with the gear in rain like what's belting my roof at the moment but I'd give it a go! Simon

After seeing the many amazing frog and insect photos that you regularly post Rel, I'm surprised nobody has asked you to do a field guide or other book of some sort. I love fauna books and guides and yet find your photos so much better. Also, knowing that you actually KNOW so much about your subjects in great, as not only do we get an interesting lesson but I think your passion really shows through in your photography.
I'll try to be a bit nicer, if you try to be a bit smarter.
Thanks everyone You don't really need patience, it is just fun wandering around in knee deep water, avoiding the spiders, snakes and other floating biters looking for frogs LOL
Ladybird - you are being way toooo kind, but thanks for the ego boost hugs Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

Great shots Rel,
what area is this in ? [Roughly] don't want to let out your secret I presume you don't wear mossie repellent so how do you stop the bities ... something natural? Shane

Hey Shane
It is actually down at Southport, the tyleri and fallax shots were taken at Coombabah wetlands, near Harbourtown. We do use a little bit of aeroguard on the tops of the legs, and arms, but hands etc are clear if you are going to move any frogs - and you make sure that you are keeping your hands moist and keep putting them in the water in the pond. Other than that, you just get really itchy blotchy bitten legs LOL but is it par for the course Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams
