Well apparently 800 ppi is too wide. I will make them smaller next time.

Jim,
Let me clear it with the wife first. We have family coming over the next day and I need to be sure we are ready.
Brian,
All of these were taken with a Nikon D40, SB-400 flash, and Sigma 150mm macro lense.

Mike,
The invite is open. That's just the only night I can do it this week and on Thursday I take off for the island for a week or so. If not Wednesday, when I return. But lemme know if Wednesday works or not. It could be fun. Jim ------------- W.

Mike great job again. You caught many of the harder to photograph fish very well. Especially the coral beauty and the purple tang. ------------- 60g LPS Cube |

Thanks Aaron. Those were definitely the toughest to get out in the open and also the toughest to get good color results. Mike ------------- |
