Hi ! I came across this picture, i took this summer with my Nikon F-70 and a 300mm lens on Kodak 200 film. This was one of my last film pictures, just a day before i purchased a D-90. I was trying to photograph a european otter in a lake, but i failed, the animal vanished within seconds, and all you can see on that picture is the end of its tail ( I forwarded it to friend as a riddle-picture ). Not far away from that scene, i saw a frog jumping in the water, so i decided to take a picture from this fellow. Just in the right moment, a few seconds later he dived in the water. There is no time to compose the pictue, or think about diagonal- or other rules. Photographing animals ( except Chamaeleons ) is almost snapshooting. Maybe the reflection is annoying. I like t as it is. What do you think about ? MIK

Very nice.
I have heard that if you kiss the frog it will turn into a gorgeous princess.

I've heard if a girl kisses MIckey she turns into a frog. "Methuslah lived 900 years. Methuslah lived 900 years. But what good is livin' if no girl will give in To no man what's 900 years ?" Or 77 years. Well, there is always photography. Meth------ er Mickey

After reading the posts on this thread you have to ask yourself "What is life all about - really, when you come right down to it?" The whole concept of cause and effect has been casually called into question, cast aside, and re-instated, with effect becoming the cause. I salute you gentlemen. I am so proud to be a member of the Camera Collector.
Photax: You don't deserve this! Superb action photo!
Regards - John

John,
Have many thanks for your comment on the picture. I also like the sense of humor in this forum. I will send you a PM on the subject of "What is life all about".
MIK
