PYGMY SEA HORSE

As I waited in line for my opportunity to shoot this pygmy seahorse, I decided to affix both of my macro diopters and try for a full frame shot.  My focusing light was causing this guy to turn away, and Simon indicated I should turn it off.  Without the light, and with the optical confusion of a 45 degree viewfinder, it was extremely difficult to find him and frame him, but I did and got a nice profile for my efforts.

EXIF Summary:          1/200s f/29.0 ISO200   60 Macro lens, two stacked diopters
