[siaoon]

-Aarrr!!! DEVIL!!!

-The effect of wearing contact lens underwater w/o masks..

 

[siaoon]

-World without Strangers

- Am i pretty?

 

[siaoon]

-- anyone know wat shrimp is this? and wat coral is that? cant remember where i took this..

-- the whole pics seems very blue to me.. any advice on this?

I like the first shot, nice use of side lighting to highlight the fish and also the capture of the mouth opening moment. If you don't mind me commenting, am split on the presence of the sponge on the right, on 1 hand it provide a reference, on the other a distraction.

How come your title of more fish shots also have nudis and other stuffs? :devil:

 

[siaoon]

-Say ARRR...

 

[seewhy]

Actually like this mood, gives it a very cool feeling. How did you do it?

hoho.. i only have side lighting... :sweat: 1st time seeing a puffed up porcupine..

Of coz.. i love comments.. and advices!! need that to further improve..
hmm i c.. was thinking of cropping that out... but the "devilish" image of the sponge juz make me think otherwise.. hoho.. thinking of portraying a image of the fish being scared by the sight of that devil... guess its doesnt work.. :sweatsm: will take note of that.

err.. kinda thinking to post only abt fish.. then :think: :think: .. Might as well post more of the rest.. "

good job to find it, shoot it and get the eyes of the shrimp in focus too. So this image is actually cropped?

I find that these shrimps on the star fish tend to jump around a bit whenever the camera come close to it. How did you mamage to capture it so 'kuai'? Care to share how far were you (your camera) away from it and what accessories did you use and the EXIF.

hmm.. think beivied found it one... shld be juz "examine" any sea stars u come across bah?! ya.. i do cropping for most of my pics. Someone says its gd to leave allowance for cropping when u take pics.. u can then "re-compose" yr subject.. etc.. which i think its very useful

think my lens was abt 4cm away from it? i hold the left and right side of the star fish arm.. so this shrimp have stay in the centre.. :sweat: paiseh.. hope i didnt stress it too much.. after that.. i flipped back the seastar loh.. ;p


if my memory didnt fail me, i shld have an ucl-165 + epoque macro lens on for this shot.

I actually like the lighting on "buddy push" did you light it from the left side, slightly pointing upwards. well done

-- anyone know wat shrimp is this? and wat coral is that? cant remember where i took this..

If memory doesn't fail this old fart it is a Periclimenes venustus. anyone care to confirm?

the blue-ish-ness is ok.. it is the real colour of the environment. well done
