Nice
Spotted ratfish photographed in Edmonds, Washington.
Regalia. Taken in Lembeh w/Nikon D70, 60mm lens & Inon Z220 strobes.
"Curious"
The nosestripe clownfish was darting in and out of the anenome so I picked my spot and waited for him to swim into shot.
I used a Nikon F-90X with 105mm Micro Lens in a NX-90 Sea & Sea Housing with twin YS-350 TTL Strobes.
Not from outer space - mantis shrimp from Lembeh Strait
A curious comb wrasse, off Shark Point in Sydney. These fish are relatively common and unafraid of divers. He was looking at his reflection in my macro lens adaptor!
"Conch Eyes"
Diving off the Nekton Pilot in Belize, I spied this conch inching his way across the sandy bottom. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally inched himself out of his shell to peek at his reflection in my lens.
Lionfish Isle of Rota CNMI
Red Hind taken in Red Sea 2004. Nikon F90x with twin flash.
