Extreme macros of seafood...sashimi fresh and live

Extreme macros can sometimes become abstracts...I explored this with watch movements...today, I am exploring with some seafood. I was browsing the seafood at the newly opened PasarBella in Turf City, and managed to capture the following.

Lobster tail

Suckers on an octopus

Skin of a fish, I forget the species...the fish here is sashimi fresh

The eyes tell it all...this is from a flying fish

Crab legs

Prawn tail

I usually shoot food with my trusty Panasonic Lumic DMC LX3...typically at widest zoom, auto ISO capped at 400, AE at f/2, no flash.

This article, I used the H3D-39. Click on the picture for a larger 1920pixel wide image.

The Nam Yu Roast Chicken...glistening in its very crispy skin, very tender and moist insides.
