Nice pose, nice angle. How did you get him to pose this way like in Matrix.

Just need better focusing and exposure. Also a second strobe on the right side will help too.

Now we just need a few miniature figurines for the photo shot of 'godzilla' rampaging. For eel's video shot, maybe Beivied can provide the SHOUT effect underwater.

Eel can do the godzilla and you can do the victim being squash. Hopefully more than just 'seahorse' (hard to imagine flatten human shouting 'SEAHORSE") . I am sure you can improvise other sound effect too.

If someone can have access to a underwater green screen and a pool, maybe we can shoot the Hantu divers and composite them onto the Godzilla video (with the appropriate screams etc)

ok .. back to asking... about the first shot, i only managed to take two three shots before it changed position. which means at that time i couldnt have waited for the silt to settle... so, if you were me, and you had to shoot with the unsettled particles, how would you place the strobe to minimize the backscatter?

remember that waisj told me something about such a placement, but forgot liao, since i never used strobe... ...

Ehhh.... take the subject with black background, then take another shot with clear blue water background, then cut and paste your subject into the clear background pic...... like that confirm no backscatter....

heheehehehh

Maybe a second strobe on the other side and both strobe more papenticular to lens will help. Maybe you should buy a pair when you purchase, can get bulk discount too.

A couple of reflector also can help. siaoon can position for you

Default Slender Ceratosoma

This should be a Slender Ceratosoma (Ceratosoma gracillimum) from the Chromodorididae family (same as bulloki).

The one in book was 12cm long taken at 10m depth on dead coral.

Hmmm...slender...sure or not...

The one we saw was anything but. I think Monstrous Godzilladus is more like it

Default Ceratosoma trilobatum

hmm if i'm not wrong this "gozilla" can oso be Ceratosoma trilobatum.

points noted:
- only 1 large lateral lobe on each side of body (hmm .. gracillimum oso only 1 set.. unlike tenue.. so thats out...)
- a ridge joining each lateral lobe to the anterior head lobe.
- complete absence of the mantle edge between the head for gracillimum.. and trilobatum suppose to have orange dots around the mantle.. hmm..

anyway.. i'm sending the pics to seaslug forum to confirm its status..
