tube worm - Meditterreanean Sea

Just thought I would share a pic with you the first time. It is a tube worm from the MED. it is a scanned slide. The pic was taken with a minolta 7xi camera, ikelite housing and strobe and a 50mm macro lens from Sigma. Shutter speed 1/200 (max synch time), f-stop about f16.

I quite like the big wheel on a sweet spot, and i dont thing the blotches in the background are too distracting.

Any comments are appreciated.

Hi Gerard,

Interesting capture, certainly has some great detail and a nice leading line from the stalk.

I have one small question about what looks like digital noise or something. There seems to be some lines running all across the photo. NOt sure if this is from the scanner? Its especially prevalent on the left side where there is some darker water.

I have had a problem with horizontal lines from a sand grain or similar. I cant really find the lines you mentioned (not a particular fantastic monitor). The scanner is just a simple HP flatbed with slide module, and since there are some things done with the image (i have cut the black edges away from the scan, and the gallery software adds the C-notice) it can be damaged by compressing and recompressing the jpeg.

I could send you the original scan if you're interested.
