8-) Another thing to watch out for is bubbles. If you are taking some time in the process and the water starts to warm slightly, maybe due to heat from lighting or whatever, dissolved gas will start to bubble out over everything. The penning pieces of glass you use will be prone to this. This problem is a real pain if you are trying to photograph wild specimens in small tanks on location. The smaller amount of water heats quite rapidly and it starts to look like a Cola commercial. Unfortunately, when the small tanks would get _colder_ than the lake/pond, the animals are all asleep.... m ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
