5 Have fun with frogs

Get a poolside seat for amphibious antics!

Frogs might not be the easiest subjects to find or shoot for most of the year, but come the mating season, that all changes. You just need to find a local pond or lake where they spawn each season and keep checking it for activity, because you never know when they are going to start, although a slight increase in temperature can trigger amorous activity.

Once mating activity starts, remember that the environment is just as important as the frogs themselves, so scope out what natural elements you have, such as plants or reeds, to use as natural framing devices. Don’t be afraid to leave plenty of space around your main subjects.

A pair of mating frogs pops up above the water surface for a breather. The large area of frogspawn in the background creates a harmonious but diffused background.
