Indonesian Photographer Captures Adorable Pictures Of Frogs Hugging In Rain
Ajar Setiadi is an Indonesian photographer known for his nature and wildlife photography. He has been interested in studying the lives of wild reptiles and animals through the lens of his camera since he was a child.
He grew up in Bogor, Indonesia, where this opportunity was available in abundance. He used his camera to record the lives of insects, lizards, snakes, birds, and frogs. He would spend hours waiting in search of the perfect moment to capture.
Over the years, with patience and perseverance, he has managed to capture some amazing photographs of these wild creatures in moments that you don't usually get to see. His work speaks for itself.
The amount of time he has spent behind the camera has made him an expert in capturing the emotions of these wild creatures as well as those of human beings.
Setiadi's favorite subject is the white tree frogs during the rainy season. These frogs are also called dumpy tree frogs, and they like to cover themselves with foliage whenever it rains.
At one such time, when it was raining, he saw a frog taking shelter under a flower that almost looked like an umbrella.
He immediately took its picture. His experience has taught him how precious these small moments are.
Setiadi said, “I could only get a few frames because this moment can't be repeated.”
It requires keen observation and an eye for detail, along with patience, to capture these moments.
Setiadi always finds the whole effort worthwhile. He says:
“I let [the animals] act. I'm just waiting for the best moment.”
He doesn't mind a little rain and dirt if he gets to watch the wonders of nature so closely.
