Tough to be a Bug*
by Justin Miller

in the water, my backyard, Boca Raton

For a different perspective of a thunderstorm, I dropped my camera into the 2-inch deep water innundating my deck, and shot an ants-eye view of the rain. Bobbing around in a raging torrent of floodwater, with huge bombs of water exploding all around - it must be the end of the world to the poor critters!

You're braver than I, I would not take my camera out in weather like that!

Very cool perspective - that's quite a flood from a bugs point of view! It's a good thing you've got the sport-pak for your camera.

Really cool. The exploding drops of rain and crazy perspective are great. Very creative. I hope you didn't wreck your camera.
