Then she discovered the seam in the light box and that ended her photo shoot. Hopefully next time she sits a little more still to accommodate my sub-par picture skills.

    If I can chime in, I must say if there's one thing I learned about photographing aquatic animals - for every good picture you take you'll have at least 30 blurry ones.

    Just keep snapping, you'll end up with a lot of ones to delete - but also some amazing and clear shots!

    Daww, yep just keep snapping, especially in auto focus! I actually probably take 50 photos, and only pick out 2 or 3 to process and finalize. In the end though, manual focus is always the way to go... just requires practice and precision. :s Auto focus will inevitably focus on the wrong things sometimes.

    LOL Blackout. She rarely sat still for me either haha

    Fantastic collection you have there SS!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
