"Basslet Smile"
A Portrait of a Fairy Basslet. A very color, but quick moving fish, so it becomes a challenge to get a subject to sit still long enough to focus. The vibrant color of the small Basslet makes it worth the wait.
"In the Trenches"
It is rare to find an Octopus during the day. Generally when we see a pile of empty Conch Shells, we assume there is a hiding eight legger some where close. This one in particular had curled himself up into a tight ball just inside
"Two Heads Are Better Than One!"- I found a coral head with a green moray face sticking out one side, and a super long tail winding out the other. Confident it wasn't a record-size eel, I waited a long while.My patience was rewarded with this image.
"Suspended"
A Jelly Fish suspended in water and light rays.
"Jelly Burst"
A Jelly Fish backlit using the sun.
friendly little guy he is all the time just looking for a friend and a feed
shortlistedShortlisted!
north wall roundabout 10.5 fisheye on a d300 no strobes
When I saw this shrimp holding its ground & posing against the sponge, I knew I had to take the photo as they are usually shy and keeps moving around to hide.
RedEyes can be seen on any night dive getting close to these guys is a fun challenge
"Trumpet Eye"
A Trumpet Fish blends in with a Gorgonian.
"In the Branches"
This Decorator Crab really blends in well with all the Gorgonian Polyps that surround him.
"Twist"
When you see the Sharks body coil up prepare to see the true speed and power of these beautiful animals. It only takes a split second for them to dart away out of sight.
"Overhead"
A Spotted Eagle Ray trusting me enough to fly right over my head. I try to let the Rays come to me, as I feel the calmer you can stay the more inclined they will be to come in for a close look.
Diver in funnel of Kittiwake wreck
shortlistedShortlisted!
"Apex"
Encounters of the Apex variety.
"Sky High"
A Spotted Eagle Ray flies overhead on the North Wall of Grand Cayman.
Soft swaying with the flow of the current.
"Puzzle Piece"
A Small Blenny lines it self up perfectly with the groove on a Brain Coral.
"Does He See Me"
This Blenny was very cooperative. I used the +10 Diopter for this shot, so was glad he trusted me enough to get the big rig right up on him for this shot.
Pygmy Atlantic octopus
"Perched"
A Squat Anemone Shrimp hanging out in an anemone.
"Purple Porch"
A Gaudy Clown Crab on a Purple Vase Sponge.
"Groovin"
A tiny Triple Fin Blenny settles in a groove of Brain Coral.
"Blue Eyes"
Orange Sided Gobe resting on a sponge. These guys are generally very timid, so being able to get so close to this one was a treat.
"Glow"
I noticed the interesting color of this sponge and new I wanted a shot. I was able to isolate my strobes onto just that sponge and the glowing sun behind the coral head gives this a very dramatic feel.
"Sand Driftin"
I love the separation the sand gives the Shark. They blend in so well with the reef, so I was very excited to see her cruise over this sand patch.
"Slug Train"
These Leech Headshield Slugs were playing a nice game of follow the leader.
