D. tinctorius 'Powder Blue'

Powder Blues peering out from coconut hide.

Young (seemingly pair) of D. tinctorius 'Patricia'.

Here's two more with some photoshopping...

That's Incredible-- about the best I've ever seen. Tell us how you did it--especially the third one, maybe a little bit photo shopped? It may be your first attempt at dart frog photography, but I'm sure it's not your first attempt at "photography." Those photos are special.

Dendrobates: auratus blue, auratus Ancon Hill, tinctorius azureus, leucomelas. Phyllobates: vittatus, terribilis, lugubris. Epipedobates: anthonyi tricolor pasaje. Ranitomeya fantastica, imitator, reticulata. Adelphobates castaneoticus, galactonotus. Oophagia pumilio Bastimentos. (updated systematic nomenclature)

My camera I use is a Sony F828 w/ an auxilery Canon 500d close-up lens. I have a home made flash diffuser mounted directly ontop my camera for the on-board flash. My settings that I shoot with are with my aperture fixed at F8, shutter speed varies, and ISO 100. In addition my on board flash is dialed down to the lowest setting. Metering is set to full. White balance is set on auto, any color correction is done with post processing in Photo Shop Elements.

With these pictures I had accidentally changed my ISO to Auto. So they didn't come out as sharp as I might like. The darkening around the tinctorius was done using the burn tool in photoshop.

I agree, very very nice.
