2006年 攝於印尼美納多

一隻大拇指指甲般大的超袖珍螃蟹攀爬到軟珊瑚的芽頂，好整以暇地準備大快朵頤。這是在夜潛時拍的，這株軟珊瑚在燈光的照射下，可以發現十數隻類似的小螃蟹各自盤據一方，左右開弓，不斷地捕捉浮游生物，好好地飽餐一頓。

令人好奇的是，當燈光沒照攝到牠們時，一片漆黑的海中，牠們是怎麼抓到食物? 大概牠們的眼睛都有夜視鏡的功能吧！

今年農曆年假期從週六正式展開，前後10天的假期雖長卻是一片空白，毫無計劃。天氣看起來好不起來了，連開車遠遊的機會也變得渺茫，有時間再來剪剪video好了。

最近收到William Tan回給Connie信中，提到他前趟拍廣角前看了我對大衛都必烈的廣角拍法的分析後，也照這種拍法試驗，William實際的經驗也蠻值得參考，詳情如下......

I have read Steve Kuo's blog before the Nov/Dec trip and found the analysis of Dave Doubilet's wide angle technique most interesting. Everything was a complete opposite of what I was doing. Decided to try the method this trip and the results are quite good! (Thanks Steve!!!) The only complaint on this method is that the sun burst became dull and diffused due to the slower shutter speed. I was using a fast shutter speed and a bigger aperture before. That way, the sun burst is dramatic, and the background a lot darker to help bring out the lit subject. The bad thing is flashes normally become overly powerful and will make the image all white!
