5.04.2005 Picture of the Week

Postby Glen on Tue Apr 05, 2005 8:50 am

This weeks picture is by Oneputt, chosen because of the simplicity and great colours on one level, but when looking closer you can see the detail in the skin by the use of the 60mm macro Nikkor. Nice shot Oneputt.

Congrats, well done Oneputt. I can't believe the size of that thing. It's one cute frog!

Great choice there Glen. I liked this shot a lot also, and as you say it's simplicity is what makes it. The difference of the two greens really show a unique contrast that you (well I wouldn't) really think about if 'planning' the shot. Well done oneputt and well done Glen on a great choice.

Nice shot.

Reminds me of the statue of a 3" green frog that my sister had sitting on her toilet up in Darwin. Every time I used the toilet for about two weeks, it would be sitting there on the top of the cistern. Well, I thought it was a statue until the day it leapt across the bathroom!

Cheers

I love the primary colour of this shot, but not sure about sharing my shower with this dude. A well-deserved photo that makes me "GREEN" with envy.

Agree with this choice completely :) I thought this was POTW material when I saw it posted, but thought it may have been too late in the week.

Well done - love the colour, the detail, the frog! It's a monster!


When does a frog become a toad? Anyone know?

POW on Maxwell's site

Postby Nikkofan on Tue Apr 05, 2005 1:42 pm

Don't want to throw a spanner into the works, but when I click onto the Maxwell D70 users forum site, it shows an image by Sheepie as POW, with the same date as Oneputt's. Just thought you should know ...

That's not a major concern, and it'll probably continue to do that until the site ceases to exist.

Sorry, I didn't know if anyone knew about it. I hadn't seen Sheepies POW the week before, so I didn't realise. Didn't mean to be a "smartass"

That site won't be updated; try using the correct URL and see if it still demonstrates the same issue.

Great Litoria shot.
Litoria Infrafrenata, the giant green tree frog, but I don't know whether that's what that one is. A great photo regardless.
Those into frogs can see a great web site for all Tasmanian frogs, with sounds, here.

Great shot - so rare to see these guys - too many cane toads - where is that dettol spray bottle.
