STD Riddled Junk (SFW)

[tyler_h]

Apologies; with the results of the shoot it seems the title has become a ruse. mishele; it seems the starfish from the previous thread (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/nature-wildlife/258390-starfish.html) is a one off, so no junk in this thread. That is, unless you are creative with the following shot

Other than that the only cool animals I could find were three of this guy; but only one was out in the open enough to get a couple of decent shots:

And just cause he let me get so close (1.2m to sensor plane); a random seagull:

As always any c&c is appreciated.

The first three were all shot at 1/200 and f/11, ISO of 100 or 200, and flash on my macro bracket (see flickr for the set up sans polariser). I also had my circular polariser to try and cut as much reflection back from the water as possible. Any tips on shooting into water are appreciated as there were a fair few dud shots to get these few.

The seagull was 1/400, f/5.6, ISO400 with the circular polariser but no flash. Completely overcast day so just a grey sky for him.
