Well, I'm working on my shots now, they should be up on my webpage by tongiht.
Update, I'm uploading the last batch of photos. Some things I've noticed is that you really need a fast lens like 50mm f1.8 or 1.4. I used a Tamron 17-35 f2.8-4 and I don't think it was fast enough. Second, you have to really crank up the ISO so your shutter speed is fast enough to freeze a moving seal/fish/etc. You can also pan and follow a moving fish, but it's still difficult as they are very fast.

A high iso and Neatimage works quite well. I was able to use iso 400 with my Canon G2 but I would use 800 on the XT. A 50 1.8 or something as low as 2.8 at least would be good. NO FLASH, Just move around at different angles until there is no reflection dont shoot straight on. I just noticed that you already took the picks I really highly suggest NeatImage to take care of the noise, works very well.
