we like a different take!
YIN YANG. I shot sequences of these two independently moving closely together, and shot the final picture of them snuggling in a yin yang position. Canon G10, Sea&Sea YS-25
Picture perfect Scleractinia Coral. Intact representative of the Stony Corals. Taken with Canon A650IS, ambient light, around Badian Island, Cebu.
"Crinoid on Coral" Canon A650IS with macro zoom. Taken in the lovely area of Badian Island, Cebu.
Ambient light shines down on coral & fish. Canon A650IS, no flash or filters. Moalboal, Cebu.
"Spotfin Lionfish". The dark spots on its pectoral fins are quite impressive. Taken with Canon A650IS near Badian Island, Cebu. I tend to keep a bit of distance from these fish, in respect for their poisonous defense!
Is it really necessary???????
This Scorpionfish is a colorful example of the surrounding corals it inhabits.. Used Canon A650IS.
Calm Before The Storm......(Typhoon Auring)
"Peacefully Gliding Green Sea Turtle" Pescador Island, Cebu.
FISHING VILLAGE. Just tinkering with my new Canon G10 while waiting for my Patima Housing and Inon Z240 strobe.
Tube Worm-Bispira sp. *Sabellidae* It is hard to associate this beautiful flower-like specimen with a worm! I took this picture with a Canon A650IS in macro mode in the location of Badian Island, Cebu.
"Who's Posing For Who" I never did get to see the picture that this photographer was taking of my dive buddy & me. Taken with Canon A650IS with just the sunlight making its way down to us around 20 meters close to the Cathedral.
"Brilliant Blue Sponge". Natural color of sponge at deeper depths of 15 meters, with darker water for contrast. Used Canon A650IS with internal flash.
"Christmas Tree Worms". Taken with Canon A650IS in macro mode at Pescador Island.
"Pincushion Starfish"-This was my first view of a starfish without arms. It was located at Pescador Island on a coral reef ridge, about 7 meters in depth. I used my Canon A650IS in ambient light only.
Waiting for an anemone fish to stop long enough to pose is quite a challenge. This Tomato Anemonefish stayed closely inside its host anemone, "Entacmaea quadricolor". I took this shot with a Canon A650IS and used its internal flash.
When I saw a group of these, I thought I was going to be a pearl millionaire. But after closely examining it, the first touch was very soft. Not a pearl...but an algae ball. I took this at "Pescador Island" with a Canon A650IS.
"Gliding Through The Spectrums of Color" I used my Canon A650IS with the original picture. Then I manipulated the image with posterization in Photoshop.
