Really, so he posed some frogs, so what? You've also got a lot of conjecture in there, what with the lines you draw, and your conclusion that the red marks on the frog's legs are bruises. How do you know they're bruises? Are you an expert in that type of frog? Do you have first hand experience bruising frogs? Your research is highly speculative and mostly inconclusive. If the photographer is trying to pass these off as "nature" then yeah, that's bs, but no reasonable audience needs you to tell them that.Blacklisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311342460366207273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170332462208487841.post-58021464327894432952015-04-01T15:10:08.221+08:002015-04-01T15:10:08.221+08:00Amazing photo shoot..

I used to take macro shots of ants with my canon powershot A720 and managed to capture them doing some pretty amazing 'acrobatic' movements. Of course, the ants will not remain in thier acrobatic position for long, only for about few micro seconds or lesser than that. It's not easy though. You need a lot of patience and a few lucky shots.<br /><br />You can view my ant pictures here.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/adelewill/media_set?set=a.274440952595.140898.655427595&type=3<br /><br />:)<br /><br />:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182092960884296806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170332462208487841.post-20244775273376838262013-09-05T02:06:08.445+08:002013-09-05T02:06:08.445+08:00The same (the (not) flying fly)
