I had a great night macro session with Johan Chaves in Quepos (outside Manuel Antonio). He has an amazing ability to spot wildlife at night, recognizing sounds and seeing things I never could (while keeping us safe from the vipers). I am a novice macro shooter and know even less about flash/lighting and he was crucial in guiding me with techniques and settings (and doing all the lighting while I tried to steady my hands and concentrate). It was hard choosing the favorites from my set and of course the tree frogs were the highlight but I wanted to show the variety from the night.

Bull Frog (he was massive and surprisingly patient)
