These guys are almost too photogenic against the black lava rock.

EF70-200 f/4L IS on an EOS-1D Mark IV.

My nine year old daughter and I confirm that the first picture does indeed contain every color in the rainbow. :D


200mm: f/4; 1/400; ISO 200.

Thanks, Steve! Gorgeous. And they're everywhere in Galapagos. I should have brought melted butter...

Well captured Josh particularly the first one. I might be tempted to ioloate the infocus crab in fraem one and clone out any remaining part of the OOF one.

I've seen Sally Lightfoot crabs in Bermuda but I don't recall them being this colourful.
