Being a new contributor to the blog I now have an opportunity to share these images that I took back in the spring of this year. The pictures portray a youngcommon frog, (Rana temporaria) which is just changing from the tadpole stage in to a froglet, so tiny is it at this stage of life that it can hardly break through the surface tension of the water which creates quite a photograph. The image was taken with the subject in a soft-box. Multiple flash units were used and the light is diffused by pure white plastic sheets lining a tank. I have used the technique a few times with other species and found it to be an effective method. Photoshop was used to “clean” up the image and change the saturation etc
