Peyton, these are awesome captures! The frogs and snakes are so real, they give me the goosbumps. I don't like reptiles, especially snakes. Thank you for sharing. It is always nice to see images from places that I can only dream about visiting.

Panama is a destination that was surprisingly not that expensive. Day to day living is pretty cheap, I think the only significant expense besides the car rental was finding a place to stay on the islands around the Easter.

Thanks noelle. I was a great time. If by peaceful you mean I enjoyed 18 hour days and long hikes in near 100F weather, then yes. it was.

Awesome photos Peyton. I admire your tenacity and willingness to get dirty!! The EXIF data were stripped from all of your posts. Can you tell us more about how you shot these images? Lens, flash, camera and lens settings, any special gear like a beamer?

Peyton, you are a brave night hiker my friend! What an incredible amount of fascinating little amphibians and reptiles. Nice shooting in the dark, those tiny frogs are awesome and the parrot snake is very cool as is the markings on that hognose.
I like the retirment home you have picked out!

Peyton,
Thank you for taking us on a tour with you. I enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading your captions immensely. No need to apologize. If anyone got bored with this, then they might as well not watch Animal Planet or Discovery Channel. Good luck on your future endeavors, and please keep us posted.

Most of the frog photos (except the red eye tf, which was with the 5D) were taken with a Canon EOS 40D, 100mm Macro + MT-24EX twin flash...likely f/13-f/22
The above view of the red pumilio was shot under natural light with the 5D @ ISO 1600 and 100mm macro
The majority of the landscape photos were taken with the 5D, 17-40L, 24-105L, or the 70-200 2.8 IS L (i miss this lens

Karl,
All of the dart frogs are diurnal species, the flash on some of them just gives the effect of it being during the night (i.e. the Solarte photo of the orange frog - that was taken about 5pm that day)

Thanks Hanh, maybe one day they'll put me on TV
My eventual plans are to return to school and seek out a career as a field biologist where I can spend all day every day trekking to find all these amazing critters

I wanted to complain about number 4 but the rest is so amazing that I would be a fool to do so. Amazing series, well done
