Odd Shots #5

The fish were jumping the other day.

There was a weather change coming and the insects were flying across the river.

Small fish were having a feast, leaping out of the water, snatching snacks.

I tried to catch a fish out of water but, after 300 shots (thank goodness for digital cameras) this was the nearest I got.

Just after splashdown. There he is, on the right, swimming away.

So that why this is odd – A photo of a jumping fish – without the fish!

  3. That is funny when we want to get the shot of a life time it never happens but you got close so it counts as odd for sure.

  9. Thank you everyone. I love the way the splash almost looks like a crown.

    Oh, @Philipa – despite my habit of leg-pulling, this one was real 🙂

  10. You caught the water just right. As someone said in my comments, water can be hard to photograph. I think we both succeeded this time with water moving in different situations.
