Got to play with the IS macro today

[freelanceshots]

Got the chance to use my newly acquired IS macro lens today. Ran across this super cool Gray Tree Frog native to the woods of Arkansas. He lost a lot of his pretty coloring when I disturbed him where it was almost a ghost gray/white which really caught my eye. Shot handheld with the 5D2 and IS 100mm macro at camera setting AV 16, TV 1/8, and ISO 1600. Second one at AV 11, TV 1/15, and ISO 1600. Just thought some folks might enjoy as there are a lot of wildlife/nature photograhers that visit this site. The images as seen here got very little cropping but I would like to get even closer to things so I guess I need to invest in an extension tube.

Wow. Great pics. I really like #2.

The frog looks really sad in picture number 1. When I would move the lens in to get the shot it would pull in its legs and assume the tucked position.
