I have been experimenting taking pics in a dark cavern situation and have seen lots of cat schools. They are very afraid of light so it's hard to get close without spooking them. Here is a shot that shows the power of Levels in Photo Shop. The first is how the original looked and the second is after a generous push to the left of the right two sliders in the RGB channel of Levels. It's not an award winner but I seem to have gotten something from nothing.

Awesome! I was hoping you saw those schools. I was trying to point them out. Amazing work that photoshop can do. That second picture is so cool. It really gives you an idea of how dark that cavern is with the lights out. An eel is even in the shot!

man you got good eyes!

I looked 3 times before I saw it.

It looks like a shadow if you didn't know it was an eel

Excellent pics!

Makes me realize I need to learn more about PhotoShop.

I'm blind without my contacts! But seriously there are so many pics I have that I suddenly notice something else in them that I didn't see at the time. It kind of gets you looking at pics in a different way.

Yoda:

Good work in PS! I played with your picture and with the exception of cloning out some of the backscatter, I could not get it to look any better than yours. PS lets you keep a lot of stuff that you would have thrown out in the old days.
