<b><center>You should appreciate the locline flash bracket. The flash bracket itself is a $10 camcorder video light bracket from frys.
The flash is a s52 Phoenix $20 slave special. I had to attach 2 pieces of 5/8 white polycarbonate as a diffuser. I used velcro for each, pretty cool.

I have attached a UV and circular polarizer from a camcorder infront of the reversed 50 to block some light.

He is on a paper towl.

On that note... I have one LFS that always seems to forget to put their supplies away, or to turn on the ventilation for that matter.

Maybe they think that if the customers breathe a little in, all of their corals will somehow look more impressive. I don't know! It's always a nice store to visit in the late afternoon...
