Whistling Tree Frog

WHISTLING TREE FROG

Portrait of a magnificent male Australian Whistling Tree Frog (Litoria verreauxii) that I initially heard calling sporadically at dusk. The call was emanating from some sedges lining the driveway as I was walking the bins out to the front the other night. I went back inside and grabbed a torch. When I spotted him and saw his vivid colours and bold markings, I just couldn't resist a quick photo sesh with him in that light.

Taken on a Fuji GFX 50S coupled to a vintage Leica R Series Bellows Rail System with a third party adapter, and in concerto with a 100/4 Leitz Wetzlar Macro Elmar short lens from the 1970's.
