Excuse the poor quality I was using my point and shoot.

Did you say poor quality. Joke right?

Great pictures. That's a cool animal. Never seen one before.

I wonder what would have happened with a "real camera"
Beautiful creatures! Where'd you take them?

These shots are from Scripps in La Jolla, Ca.

I was using a broken Cannon PowerShot S1 IS, no flash( its broken). I set the white balance and thats pretty much it.

Next time I go back I will bring the D70 and see how things come out.

I have similar shots from Japan but they are all on slide.

These are in the wild in the south-west of my state, Western Australia. The Aquarium of Western Australia claims these are easily the most difficult animals they have to look after. Very beautiful though!

Do not use a flash, it will scare the crap out of them, and damage their eyes.

I have kept both, not at all hard to keep, weedies are the tougher of the two.

There was a LFS that my wife used to work at and they tried getting one. The place that they were going to get it from wanted like $15 K for it! I dont think they ever got it.

Those are some great shots of the Dragons and they are really cool.

Thanks again guys.

My new camera body and lenses should be here soon. Hopefully I can go back and get some better shots.
