SOME OF THE BEST IMAGES FROM OUR WEBSITE

CERI JONES DP GALLERY ADDRESS: CeriDJones IMAGE TITLE: Common European Toad

WHAT CAMERA, LENS AND SETTINGS DID YOU USE TO CAPTURE THIS STUNNING SHOT? Canon EOS 6D, Sigma Macro lens 105mm using ISO 320 at f16 and 1/160 sec. Flash lit. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THE IMAGE? I found the symmetry of the image most pleasing and the clarity of the reflection, which provided almost the same detail as the actual toad image.

DID YOU DO MUCH POST-PROCESSING? A slight increase in saturation and a tweak in the curves to provide greater contrast. HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE COMPOSITION FOR THIS IMAGE? I wanted to maximise the reflection of the toad and therefore a landscape orientation provided the best symmetry of the toad and its reflection. A clean background was preferred to ensure no distractions from the main subject matter. Side lighting provided good detail on the skin.
