Jog Night Frog (Image #1- experimental lighting)
Nyctibatrachus jog | Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka
For this image, I was holding the camera vertical with the built-in flash on the left hand side. I liked the partly-shadowed effect produced by the light getting blocked by the leaf.
This is a male guarding an egg clutch, visible near its hind foot. The slightly bulging 'cheeks' of the frog are the vocal sacs (one on each side) that inflate out sideways when it calls. Did not get any photographs of the vocal sacs inflated, but did get some good audio records of the call. Will post them after editing, along with a more conventional well-lit image from a similar angle.
