You did pretty good! I understand how tough underwater shots can be

I stay outside the water and shoot dry in front of the aquarium :)

Greetings,
Thanks for nice comments. I think focusing is not the biggest issue in underwater macro photography. It is setting the light strobe that is the major headache. Since those tiny little creatures hide inside crevices and among corals, it is difficult to give a top or side, and backlighting. Direct lighting is never good in photography. This is only first try, hope some gurus here can help me out. Thanks. Enjoy...

Nice pics!


He's a politician. It's like being a hooker. You can't be one unless you can pretend to like people while you're screwing them.
