Red-eyed Tree Frog Photography

Photography holidays in Costa Rica

The Red-eyed Tree Frog is one of those subjects that rewards patience & a steady hand more than raw luck, its vivid green flanks, orange toes & startling red eyes offering endless possibilities for close-up & macro work once you find one settled for the night. NaturesLens tours are built around giving photographers the time & guidance to work these encounters properly, rather than rushing a single quick frame before the frog moves on. It's a species that photographs best when you understand its habits & have someone experienced in the group who knows where to look.
