SeaYoda:
I like how the lookdown shot "feels". The lighting is unique - how far out was your strobe from the camera?

The setup was Nik V/15mm, f8, 1/30th, single Ike 200 strobe at 1/4 power, Proviaf 100 film, distance from the closest fish about 3 apparent feet. The strobe was mounted on an Ike arm, which is about 2' long. I think part of the 'feel' is the green water on top and the bluer water beneath, which is caused by freshwater runoff from the Louisiana coast. The surface water is less saline and murky, the water beneath is bluer and much clearer. There is a halocline at the interface, which causes the green surface water to look a little funky.

Thanks for all the responses. -Clay
