    Very good images!

    Can you share the equipment used?

    Thankyou

    Sony A1 and 90mm in a nauticam housing

    Nauticam SMC-1

    Two retra strobes, no snoots on these as I wanted a bit more background interest

    Thanks both.

    I'm glad you both like that one because its probably my favourite, but I think sometimes people can be biased for other reasons, such as this one was really technically difficult due to the size, and using the SMC with a moving subject rather than sometimes being a bit more objective about our shots

    Me to, the shallow focus and distant background enhances the frogfish body contour

    Nice shots, I agree on the background, I've never been a huge fan of black backgrounds, comes from land based macros for many years where black BG was reserved for night shots and getting a pleasing out of focus BG was highly regarded.
