Tsurumai park's turtles, Nagoya Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken in one of the best parks in Nagoya, currently where I am living at the moment.

I was lucky to take this picture, I am not sure if it is how they have a group meeting? or social bonding?

I guess I reposted this one was because I think alot of you havent seen this pic of mine yet.

The only thing I couldnt get rid off was the cigarette but out of my pic, but it doesnt take away the humour out of the pic right?

Well I hope you all like it.

So funny! Great composition and the panoramic cropping is a very good idea.

Ha Ha Daniel, this makes me laugh, was it serendipity or did you get them to pose?, how slow is the front one going to cause such a jam?
Nice shot.
ps I did the quickest workshop ever to get rid of the cigarette and your right it didn't matter.

What a funny capture Daniel :))))))) What more is to say?
Thanks for sharing..

A humorous scene indeed. Looks like they're getting in line to catch the ferry across the pond. Might even be funnier if there were some more space at the top, in the direction they are looking towards. Well captured, Dan.

I agree with merbp. I couldn't see it on the thumbnail, but once I opened it, it too made me laugh. Really funny picture!
Looks like a repetitive massage or something like that. Funny!

This is a shot where the photographic quality is less important than the line of turtles. It is the subject that makes this picture for the most part.
Funny

In Italy this cannot happen: our turtles don't respect the Indian file!

This is a traffic jam. The first one got stuck for one reason or another and rest cannot overtake because the board is too nerrow, so the try to overtake from above. Good shot Daniel!

Funny and lovely capture you spotted here Dan - thanks for sharing this fine row - too bad I didn't comment last time.

It is an very interesting photograph.They are uncanny dear tortoises.

ChrisJ (70231) 2004-04-27 3:31

Cute, & good use of repetition. The lead tortoise has its neck at the right angle to make the shot work.

jrj (34779) 2004-04-27 3:40

Really a good one this Turtle Parade Daniel. Very good addition in the series Daily life of Turtles ;-)

sunny (3068) 2004-04-27 9:01

Hehehe..:-)) Funny and amusing picture with a very bright composition, Daniel! Very sociable looking group indeed..;-) Wonderful light, diagonal and water reflections that underline the turtles perfectly. Excellent job!
