Great shots worth the ant bites indeed. All are great but I am leaning towards #3, good sync step.
We all know that global warming is contributing to the extra leg mutation in the plover population.

Beautiful shots
These are beautiful. I was not aware of the skimmer until I saw your post, so I searched for it on the web. I'm intrigued. I would really like to see a photo of you using this device. Were you on your belly in water, mud, or sand?

Makes a huge difference, getting down on the subject's level makes the shots sooooo much nicer

Awesome images Glenn! I liked #1 and #3 the best. I had not heard of the skimmer either, until your post. Thanks so much for sharing these with us.

Oh man...awesome! :jawdrop 2 and 3 are awesome! I have been thinking about getting a skimmer for close to a year now. I think I just made up my mind. Oh and I have been there with the ants, but your images are much more worth the pain that mine.

Here's where the extra feet came from. If you were wondering!

dlplumer

Very, very cool :ivar That is much better than the mutation saga which I almost bought

Outstanding images Glenn, the angle really makes them stand out.

Why don't you write up a review of the Skimmer with pics for our reviews section?

Thanks Darrel! I was on my belly on sand, concrete, and pebbles!

I will do as Harry asked and write a review of it, and take some photos of it in use!

Thanks Stephen! I don't use it as much as I thought I would, but it's nice to have around.
