Great fish- your photos are incredible. What kind of camera/set-up are you using?

thanks for the kind words, though i think my photos leave alot to be desired.:D

the camera is a canon powershot A520 nothing special just some tissue over the flash to diffuse it abit.

Glaive said the same thing with the tissue so I'll try that next time, I was just wondering if you had a macro lens 'cause my fuji won't focus quite that close!
Thanks-

On the 18-55mm with out my macro add on my focus distance is about a foot. I'll toss up a few pictures later as an example.

OK...then why do I read "Vivitar" backwards in the reflection? Is that just the flash? :blink:

hahaha, nice catch bud. that's actuallly the reflection from the tripod which is a vivitar.:D

if your pics need to be desired i have problems :lol:. nice looking fish cich :kewl:

They are good pictures, one just has to remember as we hit different levels and get better we do so because we strive to get better. ;)

very true glaive. i still haven't got off my lazy ass and played around with photoshop yet! LOL
