Shark Reef in the summer time and you have lot's of schools here. These Batfish were just turning away as Shelly was filming them, and of a few that I took this was one that, ticked all my boxes, with Shelly in one corner with the Batfish opposite.

This was fun to take, swimming upside down underneath Shelly, exposing so that she was not a total silhouette, and timing it so mine and her bubbles didn't obscure the shot.

Dusk...

A male Anthias against some background blur to help make the subject stand out a little bit more than it did in the original image.

A Thornback Trunkfish head on. These guys always remind me of Darth Vaders Ship from Star Wars....."the force is strong with this one (add heavy breathing here)" ...Canon G10

I was shooting for the first time that week with a digi-compact, a Canon Ixus 700 series, available light using custom white balance, and an Inon Fisheye lens. We were just waiting on our safety stop and were quite literally buzzed by these guys!
