    I managed to photograph this little Cephalopod during a solo night dive under an oil terminal loading jetty (off limits, had to sneak under it in the dark water) in Botany Bay, Sydney. What a great macro spot though. Lots of cool stuff including this little fellow (about 2 inches long) that had just caught a shrimp that was attracted by my torchlight.

    Nikonos V, 35mm lens and 1:2 extension tube with framer, ISO100 Fujichrome Sensia II, f/22 at 1/60th. Cropped to verticla from horz. One overhead flash.

    Thank you Sir. Not easy for sure. I wasted a lot of film in those days. :(

    I like this one even more Akos! The tentacles and prey add a lot over the image posted in macro! Love those sparkly green eyes!

    Cheers!
