Image

fast moving rotifers that are hard to photograph even with flash becausethey are so restless. These just bumped against eachother. My set-up still needs improvement because I can only take pictures while looking through the camera and I have to stand tip toed to look through the view finder. But why should everything be easy. :D

Anyway. I liked the composition. I made some pictures with more details (toes, eyes and corona sharper) but this one had the nicest composition. It is almost as if it is launched by that little filamentous algae/cyanobacterian.

It was made with a 40X planapo.

Interesting composition! The red eyespots look kind of like car taillights in a fog...

Can you use a right angle viewfinder for your camera?
