This male darter is drying its wings while perched on a tree. I had never seen a darter in a tree before – usually they are found sitting on a rock along the lake shore.

All these 7 shots of balloons was taken 1 frame at a time, not set on multi shot, for each one i had to throw the dart 7 times. i know it can be hit of miss but i had more hits than misses, lucky i guess. The shots were taken in my garage as the water can make a bit of a mess. I mounted my nikon SLR with 90mm Tamron lens on a tripod fitted with a cable release, the backdrop was a piece of black velvet to stop the light shining on the background from the flash which was a tripod to the left of the balloon an a projector screen on the other side to throw the light back on the other side.Placed a bowl to catch the water, then all i did was throw the dart and press the cable release and there you have it. TIP: leave water in balloon for at least 3 days to stop the balloon from splitting too quickly

Bycatch during the Gamakatsu Team Series on the Gold Coast (Paradise Point) on 18th January, 2009. We caught 3 bream between me and my boater, for a total weight of 1.115kg - a poor showing of bream. The bream were quite shy and not very abundant, and we didn't catch nearly as many as we had hoped, so we didn't end anywhere near the top of the scoreboard.

An Australasian Darter drying its feathers at Flecker Botanic Gardens & Centenary Lakes. I believe this is a juvenile due to the light coloration on the head. (Photographed at Flecker Botanic Gardens & Centenary Lakes area of Cairns Botanic Gardens, Cairns, Queensland, Australia)

The Saber Dart is a compact, highly maneuverable fighter designed for short-range combat support. Lacking FTL capability, it excels in defensive operations and hit-and-run strikes when deployed from larger capital ships. Its sleek design prioritizes agility, making it a formidable asset in fast-paced skirmishes.
Unlike standard fighters, the Saber Dart features a low-profile canopy, reducing its visibility and making it harder for enemies to lock onto. This unique design requires pilots to adopt a prone position, accessing dual flight sticks and a streamlined control panel for maximum efficiency in tight, high-speed engagements. Additionally, the fighter’s advanced articulating wings fold seamlessly to minimize its footprint within the hangar bays of the assault carriers it typically serves, ensuring rapid deployment and optimized storage capacity.

For posterity. I had to sell this dart board a few days ago in preparation for the move across the country. It was sad, because I had always imagined that I'd bring it with me. So I thought I'd post a few pictures so that I can remember the good times... dartsing it up in my garage in Val Verde. I don't feel too bad about selling it though, as I bought it for $100, put $50 worth of parts on it, and then sold it for $400. I win...

This Darter is restricted to acidic shallow pools, lake margins and ditches in lowland heath and moorland bogs, usually with bog-mosses and rushes. Eggs are laid in flight by dipping the tip of the abdomen into the water. The eggs hatch the following Spring and the larvae develop very rapidly, emerging after as little as two months.
