I was bowled over by the colors
of the Synspilum. Needless to say, I am going to continue on with the polarizing filter.

All of the photos were shot using a flash. On the photo below, the shutter speed was set
at 1/25th of a second. Normal settings for flash can be anywhere from 1/60th - 1/125th of a
second. Obvioulsy the slower the shutterspeed, the better the chance that the picture will capture
motion blur...even with a flash. At this speed I am right on the fringe. You can see an ever so
slight blur around the photo. The background is actually darker. The end result is a fish that
has a slight 3D effect.
