Stalking...

I've been laying in wait all afternoon trying to get pictures of fish. I found this one to be my best attempt so far:

It is certainly fun with my new camera. *Before, any fish pictures were impossible as I had no manual control over any of the exposure settings so any fish pictures turned out a blur. *Getting a picture of this fish was quite difficult as it is so active... not scared of the 400w lights at all http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif *It was also a learning experience finding that to get fast shutter speeds to freeze the action it becomes necessary to use the flash to get enough light into the camera for the correct exposure. *

I think another 5000 shots and I may get the hang of it and get her totally in focus http://www.ultimatereef.com/ibv3/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hi Martin,

It is a Genicanthus watanabei. There is another thread in the main forum that covers some more details on the fish and my experience with it.
