Some of the most beautiful red hues comes from squirrel fish and you got to love that big eye for seeing in the dark.

Just a few straight out of the camera from our trip 2 weeks ago. Just cropped the trumpetfish and resized it a bit. The lightning picture was from our last night there when we had some storms coming south toward us off of Cuba. We sat out on the dock and played around with setting the camera on a post and taking long exposure photos (I believe I was using F8 and 15s or 30s exposure). Eventually after about 20 tries, I got lucky and caught the one below.

Tried several different ones over the course of the week. The ones that seemed to work the best were F5.6 and 1/160 for the open water wide shots, and f7.1 and 1/200 for the more general closer reef scenes with better lighting. Used dual DS51 strobes. Next time I am going to try pairing a DS160 with a DS51 for at least one day just to see how it turns out.
