You just keep getting better and better at this.
I wish I had some of those pics last weekend.
By the way, that new Sewellia male belongs in the species index, he is awesome!

Yes, the last one is a bit dark on my monitor.

But that new guy is amazing.

Stunning photographs, Martin. Keep them coming.

Very interesting pattern difference....

Are you sure it is the same species? There are _I think_ about 12 Sewellia species, and only two were seen around LOL...

You got some very crisp photos there, it makes the fish look beautifull. Thanks for sharing.

I love how you catch the bubbles wizzing by.

Jeez, the rocks even look good!

Yes, that last one is just a touch dark.

Love those Hillies

Great stuff! I particularly like the first of the 2 pics labelled 'at home', that's gorgeous.

Another of my no flash experiments. As long as you click the shutter at that 'pause' moment that hillstreams make in grazing, you can get the fish crisp and all the bubbles do funky trails to give the impression of flow. That's just the aquarium lighting. It's taken with the camera lens touching the front glass as that further steadies it during the relatively long exposure.

Have you not gotten yourself a tripod, Mr. T? If not, you ought.
