stuny Posted January 23, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) We overnighted at a dive resort on New Briton, PNG before boarding our dive boat the next day. Wandering the tidal mud flats that morning we encountered these 5 cm long fish able to breath the air. Their size and skittishness made them difficult to catch, as did the dark surroundings in the shade. This is with the R8/DMR/80-200 with 2X converter.

Guest Bernd Banken Posted January 26, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 26, 2007 great shot, very difficult to achieve I guess. It seems that this fish has two let's say Noctilux mounted on his head... Bernd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted January 26, 2007 Richard - Thank you. Bernd - Thank you. You're right, but they are very early versions of the Nocti. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted January 27, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Stuart for this one you chose the right color. very good photo for a difficult subject. These fish are harvested in Japan by professional anglers they sit in the mudflats with long lines its like flyfishing. Well done thanks for sharing.
