At Bicheno yesterday.

Panasonic LX5.

Great colours, bit cold to be out in the water?
Was a flash used?

13 - 14 degrees in the water at the moment in Bicheno. I wear a drysuit so it's just a matter of putting on a few layers of insulation underneath and you stay warm.

The colours are pretty accurate and yes I use a diffused external flash connected via optical fibre to the internal camera flash (Which is masked off to reduce backscatter. (Reflected particles in the water)).

Here's another shot of the same fish.

Really like that first one, good separation from background and good light.

#1 for me, the fish looks almost startled with a 'whoa what's that' expression.
