Have you ever wondered how many bugs you step on just walking around? Something else to keep you awake at night… :-). This was submitted last year for play, but Laura suggestd that I submit it for the MT since this month's topic is humor (Thanks Laura), so into the MT it is. Manual (remote in hand), F8, 1/100s, ISO 100, 10-22 mm lens @ 10mm. Topaz adjust. My apology for the lack of commenting, on the road (again) this week.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 2.00, ExposureTime: 1/25 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi

What enormous feet you have...Great for hiking, one would think! (giggles). Love this! #8602919Tammy M. Anderson May 11, 2010
I remember this too. Excellent MT image, Randy. #8603050Marty Straub May 11, 2010
Laura was right, Randy. This is perfect. Love the ant's-eye view. Kind of the reverse of macro. Great micro, then. #8604269Laura E. Swan May 11, 2010
Thought I'd mosey on over here to see it in your gallery! LOVE IT, Randy! Glad you entered it!!! :D(You KNOW...it occurred to me that this would make a terrific Adidas Advertisement, too).
Anyway I was just thinking...Perspective sure is a strange thing you know? This shoe is as big as your body. Really...what MUST the bugs think of us? Maybe this is why nature blessed them with near sightedness? So they wouldn't just freak out all the time trying to make accurate judgments with things that directly may effect them. I wonder if there is a good reason we can't see the whole universe. Things that make you go "Hummmmmmm". Hehe!
Great job Randy! Good luck in the MT! :) !!!
