Advertisement Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Hi Karl G, Take a look here Toad The Wet (sans sprocket). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pauledell Posted June 30, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2013 Karl, A neat shot of "Ole Toadie". What gear were you using? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl G Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted June 30, 2013 Thank you Paul. This was shot with the D-Lux 6 which was what I had in pocket, and a pocket flashlight which is a warm CRE LED handmade flashlight. Aperture 1.4/ 28mm equiv.(6.3mm) ISO @ 200. I would have bumped the ISO up but Mr or Mrs toad was hunting and pretty promptly hopped away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted July 1, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 1, 2013 Fun shot Karl. The toad has a smug look to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl G Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted July 1, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you Henry, I used at the rock as a make shift support. Thanks, Adam. There probably are toads living in alleys, parks and such all around you. They are nocturnal. Thanks, Bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted July 1, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2013 Karl, There is a toad of some sort that lives near the outside faucet on my home. I've only seen it in the spring and then only for a few days each year. I have to wonder if it spends most of its life hibernating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted July 1, 2013 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2013 Wonderful shot. I love the low perspective, almost like you were laying right there in the muck with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl G Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted July 2, 2013 Brent, thank you. A toads eye view should have been the title but I went with an obscure band reference. Bill, they are hard to see sometimes as they are nocturnal hunters. Yours was probably noticeable in spring because that is when every young toad's thoughts turn to fancy and may be migrating looking for love. They hibernate fall to spring. I have one that lives out front somewhere and I see it every night when the walkway lights are on because it comes out to hunt the insects drawn to the light.

dsapkota Posted July 2, 2013 Share #13 Posted July 2, 2013 Nice capture. If the Tod was facing you showing both of his eyes, would be even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
