Crystal Blue - Anilao Batangas

Lets Start with the Cute Critters....

Those are tight shots. WHat was the set-up you were using for these images. A great collection of subjects.

Cheers

Todd

Fabulous shots! I too, am curious about your set up, and your vision!

Cheers,

Marli

Those are fabulous shots. Thanks for showing me what Im too old, and blind to see up close for myself.

I think it is image #8 (second from last)...fantastic! We have all seen many pictures of pygmy sea horses by now, and I think your photo has captured that something extra. Well lit, wonderful use of negative space, beautiful composition.

Jeff,

The toughest decision you're going to have is picking out the best one!!! All of those are stellar. BTW...welcome to wetpixel.

WOW!!! Were you using the 400D Jeff? I'm loving #8 too, but #1 is right there with it, IMHO. Beautiful.

Hello - Todd, Marli, mrbubbles, Pat, Gary, William

Thank you so much for appreciating my work.

My current setup is the Canon 400d, 100mm Macro lens, Sea and Sea housing and Sea and Sea YS-110 strobes.

Please note it was my biggest mistake to buy the Sea and Sea housing for the Canon Rebel Xti / 400d. I do not recommend this housing to anyone. Sea and Sea removed all the relevant buttons to the Menu button, Focus point, delete and etc.

Which makes shooting with this housing a nightmare.

The new housing for the Canon 40 and Nikon D300 made by Sea and Sea looks fantastic.

Thank you so much for welcoming me to wetpixels. If you guys want to come down to Anilao Batangas let me know. I can recommend a really nice resort.

Very well done collection! Especially like the last couple.

I few more of my favorite shots

Probably some of the best macro shoots I've ever seen.

Impressive.

Nice shots all round. Although the shrimp eyes seem to be a new evolution - compound eyes with pupils!
