Rockpooling

As some of you know I take photos of pond and river life with a photographic aquarium. Well in September I tried it with some rock pool finds with some OK results (though with more time I would have used cleaner water and rocks!)

Really nice! I have bought a small fishtank for dropping fruit into with high speed flash for when I'm back on my feet, but seeing these makes me think about setting up a mini beach style set up and shooting them crabs!

Most shore crabs here are peelers, the green ones. How come that is transparent? Is it because it's just a tiddler?

These are incredible. Especially the one of the crab.
