I always enjoy the pic posts you start because I may not know what the heck I'm looking at, but I know it'll be good photography!

It's an European treefrog, Hyla arborea. They're tiny but pretty darned cute!

That's a nice looking treefrog. Looks alot like the elusive Pine Barrens treefrog here in America!

You were being facetious right? I'm not sure where you live but around here, used d40's still sell for around $450-500. New I think they are about $600-700 before tax. Other than that, great pic. I love the Hyla genus.

Thanks. When I said "nothing expensive" I meant in comparison to other DSLRs on the market.

nah, you can get a brand new one on amazon for $410 and it comes with a 18-55 mm lens:}

what i want to know is what kind of macro lens you're using?

None at all.

really? those are even better pics then:} do you just use the macro setting on the camera or do you have another technique?

I don't use the macro function, and neither do I use any special technique. I do have a "macro" filter fitted on my lens though. It's effectively a magnifying glass.

May I also add that these are pretty cheap, about $40 each. Definitely value for money.

Amazing shot love the lighting and subject.

Hope you don't mind me asking, was flash mounted on camera or off?

Thanks! It's actually the camera's inbuilt flash. (Yes, I know I need a flash ASAP - I'm saving up for an SB-600)
