Many of these pics are pearoasts, but since so many people never visit the downstairs brigade, I feel it is justified.

Nice shots, Andy.

What camera you using?

 

[andywg]

I use both my Fuji Finepix F31 and the wife's Nikon D80. I am better with the Fuji (as I use it for diving too) but the extra quality of the SLR does shine through.

Most of the best shots are from the Nikon on a tripod taking about 20 shots either side of one that is any good. I get quality through quantity

If you really want to know which was taken by what camera, look at the image's name. If it is DSC_* then it is the Nikon. If it is DSCF then it is the Fuji.

Me too mate. If you look at my biotope thread on here - that's about 100 shots to get those...

I'm a Canon man now. The D80 is nice though.

Cool video BTW. That's some swimming action!

It was between the Canon and the Nikon for us. The picture quality is so close to identical that it really just came down to how each one felt in the hand. Both of us preferred the Nikon for that so we went with it.

great shots, and lovely fish....as usual im left thinking i would really love a Frogfish myself

Im also a D80 user, it was a throw up between the Eos 400d, the main decider was the extra functions the D80 has and how it felt

Thats exactly what I was going to ask

Brilliant photos again. Do the two yellow frogfish spend a lot of time close to each other?
