Amphipods and stuff

Post by UnderwaterEncounters »

I got a picture in the Inian Islands in Alaska that had some cool surprises when viewing the photo close up. Here is the original:

and here I blew up the portion with the square around it:

I think all those tiny amphipods mixed in with skeleton shrimp are pretty neat. I believe the photo is somewhere between .4 inches and .9 inches wide at the focal plane--It was taken with a 105mm lens, a dx sensor, and a +10 diopter. I hope you enjoy these critters too.
