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.:clap :clap :clap

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?

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. :D Oh and I have been there with the ants, but your images are much more worth the pain that mine.

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? :deal

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

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