•  Question -- I love it and will eventually support. But I'm curious about the exposure solution: F/7.1, 1/1000, ISO 50, no flash. I wonder what kind of light source was used because, even in an aquarium, the lighting doesn't seem sufficient. Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:02, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Looking at the details of this species i would assume that it was shot very close to the water surface. You have soft light transitions in the background with mainly one direction. Due to refractions at the water surface you will have two points that don't show strong caustics. Either far away from the surface (refraction surfaces add up to something simlar to diffuse lighting) or very close to the surface, where a single wave is the actual surface. In the second case you will have nearly the same amount of light as in bright daylight. Given the location and time of this image, you would have very less (total) reflection. This could mean, that you would not need a flash light at all. -- ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ 苦情処理係 22:45, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
