Hi from Darwin

[nathan]

Hi everyone,

I live in Darwin in Australia's tropical north. Freshwater fish life here is exceptional, around the house in the local creeks (all native to here) we have:

Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia australis/splendida, M. nigrans, M trifasciata)
Empirefish (Hypseleotris compressa)
Archerfish (Toxotes lorentzii, T. chatareus)
Delicate Blue eyes (Pseudomugil tenellus)
Spotted Blue Eyes (P. gertrudae)
Blueback Blue Eyes (P. cyanodorsalis)

...and a heap more. In an easy drive the list jumps up to include

Blackmast (Craterocephalus stramineus)
Threadfin Rainbowfish (Iriathernia werneri)
and more Rainbows.

So I am blessed with native stocks of all of these and more. I like photography, and my website reflects this very much.

I have two major problem areas that I need to fix:

1. Reflection off the glass

2. Good quality flash lighting- how-to.

I'll begin with a couple of shots...

Barramundi- Lates calcarifer

Undescribed hardyhead? Craterocephalus sp?

Blackmast - Craterocephalus stramineus

Black Striped Ranibowfish - Melanotaenia nigrans

Hyrtl's catfish - Neosilurus hyrtili

Sevenspot Archerfish - Toxotes chatareus

So I would like to make results more consistent, especially with smaller fish and tougher shots. I am also willing to help out others where I can.

Cheers, and I'll surely bump into a few of you around the site from time to time.

-Nathan

Hello, Nathan!
Very nice fish collection you got! B-)
There is a special section here(AQUATIC CRITIQUE CORNER ),where you can post any photo and we'll comment it concretely...
It would be nice if you had share all about your photo equipment and set up too!?
