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!

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.

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.
