♫ YO Yo yo, there's no place like a green penthouse... so i told the genie i wanted to be well hung. ^o^ ♫ nah... wildlife from singapore♫

okay…ö_öhö_ö! i thought it was time to post again and here is a tiny tree frog that i found when i was walking near by home on saturday morning. just after a heavy rain, the timid forest of mount faber was still dripping and suddenly i’ve noticed some activity in a bush of golden torches * Heliconia psittacorum L.f x H. Spathocircinata - Aristeguiata cv.* ö_öh well, then there was this big-eyes critter. ^o^ yeah, i’m learning since the past year that this kind of subject demands the use of a flashlight with a handheld or monopodded camera :P yeah! specially when i’m working two kind of subjects small highly animate creatures, or minute subjects where impractical *but wondrous :P* natural-light-exposure times combine w/ the difficulty of working a tripod into position. ó_ò the subject won’t hold still waiting for you while you position it…. well, restraining the subject is not an answer 4 me. and, i disagree with some advice to refrigerate *freezing cold* small animate subjects, brrrrr! imagine refrigerating your kids or little siblings ó_ò until they could not move and then photographing them. ^_~ okay, okay… trying to work a tripod into this scene in order to shoot with natural-light at this image size is hopeless- i thought, subject was in the middle of heliconias’ leaves >_< so, i’ve proceeded shooting w/ a nikon r1 ttl ring flashlight attached into my camera, which was mounted on an arc swiss monoball ball and – socked head on top of G1578L gitzo monopod.

Better view at… / Um close melhor no... Original Size

YO Yo yo, não há nenhum lugar como uma cobertura verde... assim eu disse ao gênio que eu queria estar bem pendurado. ^o^ ♫
okay…ö_öhö_ö! pensei que estava na hora para postar novamente e, e cá está uma rãzinha *perereca* minúscula que eu encontrei quando eu estava caminhando perto de casa no sábado pela manhã. logo após uma chuva pesada, a floresta tímida do monte faber ainda estava aos pingos, e de repente eu notei alguma atividade em uma moita de heliconias tochas-douradas* Heliconia psittacorum L.f x H. Spathocircinata - Aristeguiata cv.* ah bom, então estava lá esta criatura de olhos-grandes. ^o^ sim, eu venho aprendendo desde o último ano que este tipo de assunto exige o uso de flash com a câmera na mão ou a máquina fotográfica montada num monópode : P sim! especialmente quando eu estou trabalhando com dois tipos de assuntos, pequenas criaturas altamente animadas, ou assuntos minuciosos aonde a associação de tempos, com a impraticável *mas maravilhosa :P* exposição com luz-natural, é difícil de se trabalhar com um tripé em posição. ó_ò o assunto não ficará parado esperando por você, enquanto você posiciona o tripé. bom, reter o assunto não é uma resposta para mim. e, eu discordo com alguns conselhos em refrigerar *congelar* os pequenos assuntos animados *bichinhos*, brrrrr! imagine congelar os teus filhotes ou irmãozinhos(as) ó_ò até que eles não possam mais mover e então fotografá-los. ^_~ okay, okay... tentar trabalhar com um tripé nesta cena para fotografar com luz-natural a este tamanho de imagem não faz sentido - e pensei. o assunto estava no meio das folhas de heliconias
>_< então, segui prosseguindo à fotografar com o flash de anel r1 ttl da nikon anexado à minha câmera que estava montada numa cabeça de tripé, uma arc swiss monoball ball- cabeça encaixada em cima de um monopóde G1578L da gitzo. Prrrrr.... essa tradução doeu! ahuahuahuh….
