Wow, that’s a unique fishery to be sure.

[Zach Matthews]

I am going to play with this.

Shiny silver and black are the bane of photography.

[Zach Matthews]

That looks perfectly acceptable to me – you are achieving what I would be going for.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Gene, nice to have you.

Hey Ben –

The SB-600s work wirelessly already using Nikon’s i-TTL system in Commander mode.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Ben –

Will the SB-R200 strobes pop in ‘Commander Mode’ without the SU-800 unit or is it required?

[Zach Matthews]

Good idea, Ben.

My main concern is getting enough light on the objects to properly expose with a low ISO setting, a relatively narrow aperture for sharpness front-to-back, and a short shutter speed.

[Zach Matthews]

The reason for the high ISO was to keep the shutter speed under 30s.

[Zach Matthews]

Thanks David.

This is what I’m doing if you are new enough to have missed the thread:

This is for Nautilus – it’s an ongoing relationship/assignment and I am trying to get better at it.

Nemo –

The problem is elegantly draining the color from the white background with a silver reel.

I revised my opinion of the Helios rods the minute I got it out in a parking lot.

[Zach Matthews]

Ooooooh.

One of our members was instrumental in getting the fish’s name changed from the Jewfish to the Goliath Grouper.

[Zach Matthews]

It was a cardboard box with tissue paper taped to the sides (I cut holes in the sides).

Check out a blog called Strobist – lots of great tips there.

I went whole hog and purchased the top-of-the-line Rino 520 HCx, which is a waterproof color GPS unit with a built in radio that talks to Talkabout-style units.

[Zach Matthews]

Goodness, Bob – I had the same thought as Carter and hadn’t even opened this message until this evening.

[Zach Matthews]

We’re working on it, Jay.

[Zach Matthews]

There’s an interesting story behind the naming of the Goliath Grouper that involves a member of this board…
