i do recall reading that different lense have different sweet spots for the f/number

if your photo appears sharp then f/20+ then it is good

if your fish is not moving much, it is possible to take two photos? one under exposed? then edit the sand with the under exposed photo?

or shoot in raw and burn the sand... raw allows a little more space for editing too right? (read somemore too... not really good with editing either)

how many flash you using again? all place directly on top?
in anycase, your photo is excellent as always

This means your lighting can still be improved.

The best way is to shoot and use the raw picture. No editing or minimal cropping. Otherwise, you spend more time in photoshop than shooting.

Cheers,

p.s. I like this fish. From where? I want!

Ben

Try shooting with bracketing option with exposure set at +- 0.3 to 0.5
Then compare the 3 pics for better exposure.

OK, I will try all the methods next time.


btw, Benny, you can get that fish fm your neighbourhood store.. but I think they are selling very fast

photoshop is good to touch up pictures

I think your photos are the nicest around arofanatics, still need improvement?
