How to Photograph Frogs at Night
Рет қаралды 13,481
Күн бұрынWanna know how to use off-camera lighting? & photograph frogs? I decided to create another frog video showing more in detail on how I create my frog photographs. It's also very similar in how I create most of my off-camera lighting animal portraits that can be found on my website (see below)

You were making me nervous with that camera on your knee and all that water around

Haha .. yeah. I don't like straps so I hand hold my camera all the time. Knock on wood I haven't dropped it yet. I try not to let locations worry me, if I did I wouldn't shoot there

@@NeilJernigan you should get a hand strap, i have one because i hate the feeling of the strap around my neck but i'm very clumsy and drop almost everything (except for animals and most babies) and the hand strap just feels heeps more secure

Old video but glad I came across it. I've been doing insect macro while surrounded by frogs. The thought of photographing them crossed my mind and now I know how to go about it. 👍

I never even considered photography frogs/etc at night. Did not think it was possible. Now I know. And I have a good idea about how to do that. I like th penlight in the soft box, great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed both your frog videos. I love photographing frogs calling like that and you inspired some new ideas for me. But I also was terrified seeing your camera in your lap like that with no strap!!! Just for the record your Green Treefrogs" are actually Squirrel Treefrogs and your Gray Treefrogs are Cope's Gray Treefrogs (a different species than the Gray Treefrog).

Very well put together video Neil with some useful tips - two questions though. Firstly, I guess you were aiming and firing and not using 'live view', I wasn't sure? And, secondly, were you on back-button focusing, it looked like it?

Hi Neil, you used 5DMk4 so you can use eye tracking focus to shoot it, how it can be done in 5dMk3.

Recently moved to NC from CT. We have tree frogs but OMG... Not like this! I moved to Southport in April 2020. Yes... Covid... SUCKS... Nights here are like spring in CT multiplied by 100! I have see some pretty cool critters here... wicked huge walking sticks, mole crickets, territorial toads and a few tree frog species! Watched this video and if our world rights itself once again, please let me know.... I got you

This is awesome. I can't wait to try it this spring. Do you shoot manual flash or TTL? Do you find it makes a difference?
@NeilJernigan 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I use manual flash 99% of the time. I can control the final image better than TTL.

Hi, Neil, I am green in flashlight photography. Is it not recommend to use TTL in such situation?
@NeilJernigan 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! Shooting in total darkness, the flash will want to shoot at full power. That would be too bright and my recycle time would be far to great. So by shooting manually I can optimize the recycle time/battery life and create the light that I want and not what the flash dictates. Hope this helps!
