I made myself a small three inch square aquarium and I go across the street and catch small pond critters and place them in and take there pictures, it can be pretty interesting what you get. This is one from today a portrait of a Giant Water Bug, he/she was too big for the micro aqaruim so I couldn't get a full body shot. {} One of my favorites a Water Tiger which is the larval stage of the Giant Diving Beetle. {} {} Diving Beetle. {} Water Boatman {} Martin
I find pond life to be fascinating, and Martin, you've really put some amazing images together. What a great idea, to make your own pond with clear sides! I gotta tell you though, that water tiger gives me the creeps! But the shots are fantastico!
Beautiful, Martin! Why don't you tell us how you photographed these marvelous creatures in a 3" dish. Virginia aka beaucamera
Great shots ! - That multi facet eye is kinda spooky though. After you put your creatures in, try waiting for 5 or 10 minutes - this should give those air bubbles a chance to be absorbed into the water.
Strangeeeeee things you have in your pond. EEEEKKKK I am not going in any body of water :>)) The shots are super though. Vey interesting critters.
Hmmm...I have to say I'm w/Gale on this...No more going swimming in anything other than my pool!!! The shots are fantastic and I'm w/the others, I'd like to know how you did this!
Wow, those are some prehistoric looking creatures. I think I am going to stay out of the water. Nicely done.
