Nice to see you back in the water!

Hi Gilligan,
More great photos. I'd love to be in Maui right now (pretty much anywhere else but here would qualify for the next six weeks). I assume you're using the 165 lens for the close-ups? I've been thinking about breaking down and buying a new lens. How far are you from the shell (lens tip to shell) when taking the photos?

Actually I did not use the 165 lens on either of these shots. I used the zoom in Macro mode then cropped the photo in PS7 to bring the subject to the forefront. I am guessing I was about 12 inches from the subject.

Very good. The shrimp looks like he is daring you to get closer.
Cool pix! My son has a banded coral shrimp in his salt water tank. I'm moving to Maui next month - can't wait to see these critters!
