Sorry about the lesser quality on the rest of the pictures. My sync cord failed the night before, so I had to switch over to slave, with no fiberoptic cord. Sometimes they fired, sometimes they didn't, and wildly inconsistent. Knew I should have brought my single cord along just in case! Of course, the next day when I jumped in with camera for the Whale shark swim, one of my strobes flooded the battery compartment as well. Alcohol fixed it temporarily, but it flooded again on the last day. Sync cord $200, ChaChing! Rebuild strobe $200 ChaChing! Do any registers go ChaChing any more? The wonders of RAW and Photoshop helped, but bringing back underexposed pictures makes them kind of grainy and loses some detail. Oh well.

"Lesser quality"???? Rethink that. These are terrific, I particularly like the first three. That is a CLASSIC spotted moray image. Really enjoyed these Larry. ++Ken++
