Hello,

What is your current setup? May want to scale down that image and repost it.

i get the occasional good shot in clear water but the fixed flash and the focal length ...

i do have an F80 that has voiced a desire to take up scuba diving :devious:

in the middle of the picture (not that you can make it out) was either a pulsing or pom pom xenia. made me think about video for a bit. the real thing i was after is that blue smudge beside the xenia - tiny fish with a yellowish ring around the eye.

not wanting to rub it in.......

but that is the joy of digital photography

you get instant feed back, if it is crap you can delete it

you don't have to spend on developing unless you want to hang it on the wall.

but this is not what you wanted to hear.

what camera and set up are you using?
