I figured you would like these.

They look like sea horses who went to a party, got drunk and passed out and their friends started sticking stuff on them. :rofl:

Actually, I had a ball. But shooting moving fish in low and strange light conditions through glass is not that easy. Had plenty of blurry shots that got culled. I'll post more tomorrow. :blowkiss:

:haha: yeah, i think the 'weedy' part of their name doesn't come from the plant-life that grows in the sea :p

Yeah it is pretty tricky, i hope you didn't use flash!!! Else they'll be blinded O.O Thank you for sharing :love: cant wait to see more oddballs :D

No flash for me, but there were plenty of idiots who couldn't or wouldn't read the "No Flash" signs. I've been around long enough to know the bulk of your flash is just going to bounce back.
I cranked up the ISO. The other problem was the widely varying light sources that had me constantly changing the white balance.

They were so graceful swimming. They have waving rows of hairs on their backs so they appear to float through the water.

Thank you for the comment and the :+fav:

It was amazing just to stand and watch the little creatures swim.
