Leslie, Thanks for the update on this! Please see the new topic about a few other shrimps I haven't got ID's on.



Yup.  Sammy thinks there's likely to be a whole suite of species hiding under the name Hippolyte commensalis.

Yeah, that looks like the one! We'll have plenty of time to go in search of other unusual critters soon hey! I take it you've seen the other one that lives in the Xenia?
Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham, ive seen this shrimp in 2005, and we have a lot of photos of it. We found it in Wakatobi. I was never able to get a proper ID. I believe I asked on here, but I cant find the thread right away..

Here's one of the images from our wakatobi gallery:

Alex,

Wow, I love your eagle shot. You need to start doing more topside shooting. Have you done more topside work, that eagle is simply awesome?

Is it a bald eagle?

In Topic: PRINTING how big can I go?

Scubastu/Cor,

Thanks for the help here! So basically if I want fine detail work on glossy prints I can only really go as big as it says you can go in, say PhotoShop? But if I want to print much bigger I can upres to what ever I want... Is this right? If so what is the best way to upres? So far I've trying this by resizing in small stages.

Plus, so far I've only been working with jpgs. I know there's a lot of talk about jpg's not being as high quality as raw or tiff or what ever. Though Jim Watt, who was probably the first really top digital UW shooter (and who probably sold more UW images than most pro's) only shot jpg's. SO what is the real difference between the formats for printing use...

AND PLEASE - no long winded technical jargon replies that are gonna baffle the hell outta me... I only a dive gide n ain't so gud wiv stuf lyk dat!

Subject to machinery, you literally can go on for ever. It depends where you expect your target audience to stand.

I know printers can go to any size, though I'm trying to find out is what size the image can go to without loosing quality?
