    Funny... I came on 3reef just to ask him that very question. Thus far all my NZ buddies are fine.

    Led photography

    The camera is a Canon EOS D60 with a Nikon Nikkor macro 105mm. I use the manual setting and try not to use too slow a shutter speed,although it's quite difficult with the low light levels and the strong current in the tank. I do improve the basic parameters through I-photo on my mac desktop...I am a professional cameraman, so I guess that helps, although the gear I use is pretty basic....

    New jewel rock

    [​IMG]
    Here's a shot of the latest Jewel Anemone rock gathered whilst diving recently....really beautiful colours. The rock weighs 5 kilograms/12 pounds, so was tricky to get ashore! It's doing really well with fully extended polyps that are actively feeding.
