The female Media Luna Yellow Labridens has set up shop and ready to breed. Time for one of the gentleman in the tank to accomodate.

This one was taken with a very slow shutter speed....thus the blur. I just liked the way it looked. Would have been an awesome photo if it was crisp.

Just playing with some different settings. This is one of the very few natural light photos I've taken of the fish. I panned with the female so the background is blurred. SHot with a very low shutter speed 1/15th (hand held) and a wide aperture...so the dpth of field is shallow as well. I like the shot.

The end...literally! Pearsei female tail.

Thanks.

Two shots I forgot to post with this session. P. Freddie female waiting for the big pellet drop.

The male second from the right is stuffed full of pellet. When I photograph them I only drop a couple pellet into the water at a time so as not to foul the shot with any debris. This guy did a bang up job at grabbing whatever hit the water. You can't tell by this photo...but he's the largest by about 3/4 inch.

Nice shots as always.

I'd like to have your collection but I bet I'd hate to pay the light bill.
