Re: New Stuff on the Krib

It was interesting to see the Bork slides. They are almost certainly not
manipulated. He seems to have used a flash from below and to the side of
the fish and timing such that he is capturing just the beginning of the
flash. Note how dark the background is and that the bottom of the fish are
better illuminated than the top. With such a method you can get interesting
reflections of the light. I have recently done very similar shots by simply
flipping my camera over so that the attached flash is on the bottom, but
wouldn't publish them as IMO they are an unrealistic portrayal of the
subject. I can't figure out how his luelingi looks so washed out though.
These are not gray fish!

Erik, that is the Nikon 105mm macro lens he used! I'm still looking for one ...
