A macro underwater! Now that is a challenge and done very well.
aabzimaging replied
Cheers Adam! Yes, the are quite challenging in particular because they move fairly fast and it is quite hard to follow them with a bulky DSLR underwater housing and two strobes on arms attached in between the coral heads. But they are really fun to watch.
