    This is my favourite fish Inlecypris auropurpureus, which means golden-red cypridnid from Lake Inle. Looks nastsy but actually very peaceful. Think a school of 100 in a 5ft tank would be fantastic.

    Very difficult fish to shoot, the body sheen is a nightmare for lighting control. I think my sifu would give me an A for this

    f/8.0 aperture priority, ISO 50, E-TTL, evaluative metering. 140mm with +4 closeup.

    You're right, they look nasty... the pics make me think "Velociraptor". Nevertheless, beautiful.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    Wow! That's an A alright!

    Good exposure, shadow control and tight depth of field control. Belly well lit and no hot spots. Color not washed out by flash.

    To get A+, the tail portion should be unobstructed from view.

    Steady lah!!!

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    BTW, the +4 I’m using this time is the Canon 250D and not the usual Hoya :P Maybe that’s why ($90 vs $15)

    Benny, are you viewing it with your spide-caliberated monitor? So the colour, brightness and contrast is OK?
