Fish at the Miami Metro-Zoo Aviary Pond (King Fishers have to eat)
When used with the proper housing the D1x is a great camera to shoot fish with, in this case the housing was the whole building and it's glass walls, no underwater housing was used for this shot!!, Although I was tempted to say that the new D2H was pretty much waterproof , I, ran the risk of being sued by Tony Medici down the line!!!
D1x, Raw,70-200mm afs-VR+2X. FL=140mm, Manual exposure,1/500sec SS-f/5.6, EV=-0.7, ISO=125, Flash D-TTL.
Any comments or reposts are always welcome!!

Cool image and as usual a very funny commentary to boot... waterproof D2H is hilarious!

Nicely done Alex. I don't think I've ever seen a green background on a fish portrait before.

Chris, your basic fresh water algae growing inside the huge tank, hope this helps

Very nice. That wireless download with the new D2H would be handy for underwater--no need ever to take it out of the housing! I think Tony should try it as soon as his arrives!

This is incredible...especially shooting through the glass...and with flash. The green makes for a wonderful BG and the colors and detail are perfect...as always. Make sure that you get a picture of Tony underwater when he tries out his new D2H....I'm sure everyone will be waiting for that one.
