Wide Angle Macro Photography, now if you’re looking for something to really test your patience and determination, this is it. I recently picked up the 15mm f4 1:1 lens option form Laowa.
Ishikawa’s Frog had evaded me since my arrival in Okinawa just over four years ago. IVe constantly had this critter in my mind, hoping, waiting for the day I would get to photograph it. But it’s not just Ishikawa’s Frog but more so the blue morph of this ridiculously scarce amphibian.
Photographing Frogs as a Macro Photographer I learned a long time ago any thoughts of this being a glamorous shoot should be stowed and discarded, like, forever!
Andersons Crocodile Newt is pretty much a dinosaur. To be found during specific times of the year and in a few pockets of dense jungles in the Northern areas of Okinawa main island, it is sadly in decline due to habitat loss and illegal pet trade poachers.
I was hoping to get a glimpse of predation by Himei Habu Pit Vipers on the otherwise occupied mating Green Tree Frogs which seemed to be teeming all over the place on the night of my initial visitation.
Macro Photography can be, and often is, an invite to premature baldness! Trying to stalk skittish winged prey around a daylight scenario is nothing short of madness on a stick!
