Tadpoles with legs, mosquito larvae doing the shuck & jive, insects that precisely jump across floating leaves…

Didn't your momma ever tell you to wash your hands after sneezing?

Seriously though, cool shot - was it natural or was there some pond life choreography going on?

nice photo. how is the lumix? I heard they are noisy...
Posted 40 months ago. ( permalink )

I have not had a problem with noise. Here is a first impression review... and an image-stabilized shot hanging off the caboose of a moving train:

If I was going to buy a new pocket camera, I'd go for the Casio Z55, or with a larger budget, I'd try the new Canon SD700 with IS.

Thanks for the comments, y'all. It was a "found object" in the course of some pond play with my favorite hand model, a curious little boy. Here is some earlier work from his portfolio... ;-)

Nice to look at, but this could well be the algae in sewerage ponds that soon biodiesel is made from. :)... I am sure we don't let kids or Steve to the sewer, but do you have a picture of the algae that would work??? wwwlists.ccc.govt.nz/wa.exe?A2=ind0605&L= mrinfo-l&amp...
Eestis me teeme seda veel paraku rapsiõlist :) teeks rohkemgi kui sa kampa lööd

Do I have a picture of the algae that could convert waste into biodiesel???

I just love a tough request like that.... ;-)

OMG... this is wonderfully creative and funny! I have the same thing in our patio pond, as nature runs rampant in late summer, but never thought of such a clever shot! :-)
