Common Toads (Bufo bufo)

Labels:
These toads are new arrivals in the garden; in all I've counted 13 so far. They are fascinating creatures and I love photographing them – that mix of warty skin, the inscrutable expression, the bulging eyes and the elastic limbs always makes for interesting images. These were taken with the new L-series f/2.8 Canon 100mm prime macro lens and there will be more to follow in which I got even closer.

Canon 1Ds MkII, Canon 100mm prime macro lens, 1/250th sec, f/3.5, ISO 400. Distance to subject: > 20cm

Canon 1Ds MkII, Canon 100mm prime macro lens, 1/40th sec, f/13, ISO 500. Distance to subject: > 20cm

Canon 1Ds MkII, Canon 100mm prime macro lens, 1/160th sec, f/9, ISO 500. Distance to subject: > 20cm

    Absolutely tremendous - the first one being my favourite with the foliage in the foreground.
