Gilligan, how did you get the exposure right on that frogfish?

They're all wonderful, BTW! I especially like the nudi--I've never seen one like that, before.

I took about 25 photos of that criitter on 7/11 and posted two of them. Today I took about 6 just to get a more distant shot of it. Got lucky today I guess.

WOW! look at the detail you got on that goldlace!!! Fantastic!!! The ones here look more transparent though...wonder if that has to do with the lighting...

I always have a heck of a time with black or white subjects. Good job!

May have more to do with adjustments like brightness, contrast, etc. in PS

I also used the Inon close-up lens on it.

So do I. That's why I took 25+ pics of that Frogfish on 7/11.

That's a beautiful nudi! Makes me wanna get an close up-lense. Not sure they are plenty though for 8080. Now your eel has a black background aswell
