These are my first attempts using my new DIC setup. I'm having some trouble getting exposures correct, but I guess things will improve as I get more experience - I'm using a slightly different illumination and flash sytem to before, all via a 'Y' fibre optic. Also, although I like blue backgrounds, the camera doesn't seem so happy with this, so maybe I'll have more luck without the retardation filter.

DIC seems to be the thing now a days. I don't know about that deep blue background either. I think the white balance may need to be reset to give a more natural look to the images but they are good just the same swimming in the blue.
