The hippopotamus has the ability to stay underwater for as long as 5 minutes. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

A real page turner.
So many books to read, so little time. Thanks, Tom.
I enjoy how the text comes through other books. Very cool image!
Thanks, Howard. I’m surprised myself by the sharpness of this. I used my phone to shoot these exposures and it did a pretty nice job.
Yes it did. Wouldn’t have guessed it was a cell shot!
I like it! I can’t figure out what else to say. 🙂
That’s good enough for me. Thanks, Lynn.

The observation about hippos staying underwater for up to five minutes reminded me of whales, which zoology, if not Snapple, says are the hippos’ closest living relatives:

If you are ever looking for another job doing research for bottle cap trivia, let me know, Steve.
Interesting . . . double exposures or a collage? Regardless, visually captivating.
Thanks, E. It’s a triple exposure but each individual is very nice.
Nice unique creation. Wasn’t sure what I was looking at until reading the comments above about a triple exposure.
There is a wonderful display of books at our local library and I took a few shots while I was waiting. We are lucky to have such a nice library so close to us.
I like the antiqued look of this, Ken; it’s an image to stick with for a few minutes. Great job seaming multiple exposures into something meaningful. Would be interesting to print this life-sized.
Thanks, John. I’ve been meaning to get some prints from the phone shots just to get a measure of the quality. This could be one.
My Galaxy is crazy sharp, something I have to tone down a bit if making prints. From what I’ve seen from the latest iPhones: same deal
2 years ago I had a 9×16-inch print made from an S20 phone and I was surprised how sharp it was with very little noise. We’ll see what the newer phone can do.
