Thanks. Polarizers sound great. I'm used to using Canon polarizers for EF lenses. For this setup, I have a Nikon Coolpix 5000. This will require looking into. Not sure if anything'll fit between the UR-E6 and MDC. I like the glass surface idea since the water surface is currently shaped like sand du...

How will this underwater city fare?
Roughly a teaspoon of fresh aquatic moss in a few tablespoons of steam water. It sat for a few hours in a dish, and in warming up, came to life a bit. After an hour or so looking at an interesting variety of critters, I decided not to toss the little ecosystem. A blank cd fit perfectly over the dish...

Thanks for the input. This is helpful. Checked the firmware and it is 1.8 :D I am under the mistaken impression that the diffuser would help stop the reflections. That was my intention. What's the deal? The water is quite shallow, and with moss shoots protruding out - and all the surface tension - t...

Flash advice for macroscopy
Well it has become glaringly obvious that photographing fast moving aquatic critters at 10 - 30x (copepods and all) isn't going to happen without flash. Having spent a few hours looking into it, I'm hopelessly unsure. My rig includes a Coolpix 5000 sitting atop a leica c-mount, above 3 leica fixed f...

Aquatic moss in a stereoscope!
I'm completely new to this and am insanely thrilled at what lives there. Under a stereoscope at 30x, some of these creatures are downright monsterous. A soupy sample left to warm for a few hours is a shocking orgy of wriggling, emerging larvae, intense traffic congestion and anything goes gluttony! ...
