Description
A few days ago (early August), I visited Upstate, New York. More specifically, Bear Mountain and the Seven Lakes area. I regularly visit this place because I really enjoy the atmosphere. My father and I were just flopping around the woods and we came up on a small creek that we once saw as a stream.

This time of the year, it doesnt have much activity, but life down there still grows (especially damned mosquitos!). There were plenty of frogs, so I took the chance of going National Geographic on them. After looking at the pictures, I finally realized when a lens with Image Stabilization would've been handy. Nonetheless, I liked a lot of the pictures that I took

This one is one of my favorites. This frog was unusual. Other frogs forced me to use my 300mm lens in order to get a clear shot of them, but this one stood still enough to let me use my 50mm macro. I was really close to it in this shot. I have another one in which im even closer, but I'm saving those for later. At one time, it tried to touch it and adjust it for a better pose (the one that you see here). Maybe this frog was sick, or maybe it was just a model. Hence the name Dernier Cri, which means the latest fashion.

I used a Canon Digital Rebel, and this is exactly how the picture came out. No retouching whatsoever.
