Hippocampus Histrix - Seahorse

Was looking for that elusive Pygmy but was not lucky this weekend. Well, I got a good consolation prize on my night dive...

Alcina, I love the headlight shell reflection shot. Isuris, that dragonfly is awesome. Nice work!

Is this a juvenile Batfish? Photo taken during a night dive @ Basura, Mabini, Anilao, Batangas, Philippines using a Fujiflim F11, with Inon Z-240 strobe

pyro - you've got some nice shots! You should start your own thread with these images so more people get to see them!!

Went on a night dive and this fish was so playful and curious. It was coming on to the red focus light of my strobe.

Great shot Pyro !!

Absolutely love what you've done with that fish and the black background

Thank you alcina, isurus, jamdiver, jcsgt... the batfish and cowfish were both playing with the red focus light of my stobe. It really work! =) It was my first time to shoot with external strobe and am just getting used to it. Will post more soon...

HDR shot of mine, view from my bedroom...
For those who aren't familiar with the name or technique.

It stands for High Dynamic Range.

It's a feature in Photoshop CS2 or Photomatix or FDRTools.

It's basically a way to 'digitally develop' your photos using tonal information contained in multiple exposures of the same shot.

Say you exposure bracket the same shot. You can merge all three files into one 32 bit file and use the data contained in the images to create one master output preserving accurate details from all exposures.

Anyway here's an attempt of mine, still quite haven't got the hang of it, converted it to b&w... best seen large, click on the pic to do so.
