Anemone Shrimp
(Not very clear though, cos the shrimp is transparent, camera cannot focus on the shrimp properly, almost same color as the sand)

My personal favourite that has eluded me all these time, this magnificient species is Ribecia Tyroni from the Chromodorididae family.

It is commonly spotted in pairs, and if you are lucky enough, you might be able to see emperor shrimps with it.

Wonderful shot Lanxx

you showed the tanned dots wonderfully, so as the strobe placement and shadow casting.

one minor nitpick, couldn't really see the rhinophores though.

none the less all are wonderful shots, white eye moray with a sea shell, good composition of diver with sea fan, and a well taken 50-50 shot

Good work

nice of you to share your photographs, wonderful

Yeah, I only had 2 shots of this because it was over our bottom time already.
So not much time to adjust and zoom in more and focus.

Would have been wonderful if I had 2 strobes, so that I would not have the shadows there

Now you cannot complain I never share photos huh!
1 shot share 11 pics liao!

lanxx · 10th January 2004

Oh, forgot to add, all these shots were taken in Tioman.
So Waisji, you can find your elusive nudis there.

Also, all shots have no post processing done.

not possible, keke...

white eyed moray, lanxx, as your wonderful shot clearly portraited.

Wonderful macros, clearly showed the superiority of the C-5050. Of course still need to put a good photographer behind the camera.

Can PM me how much u paid and details for PG? I may head there.

beivied · 10th January 2004

hmm... now that you mentioned it.... didnt noticed it is white eyed.... pardon for the stupid qtn, but what colour usually is moray eels' eyes?

on the contrary, I like the effect of the shadow, it gives the nudibranch a sense of mystery to it.
