Sardina del Norte, Gáldar, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, Europe, World, ....... This was past weekend testing the 10,5 mm fisheye with my Nikon D200. Hope you enjoy it.
"Watch where you are putting those feelers, you could have someone's eye out!"
Cleaner Shrimps from La Gomera in Canary Isles, using Canon A70 with internal flash
Red face. This frogfish has got the best place for hiding. North of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain
Eggs. These are eggs of the most common blennie of the Canary Islands. The fish itself isn't really beautyful at all, but the babies.....
The trio. The species is Parapristipoma octolineatum, and it's possible to find groups of them at certain places of the Canary Islands, but generally it's not a very common species here.
Trachinus spp. The first 3 spines of the dorsal fin of these fishes are poisonous. Diving it's no problem, because they don't let you touch them, but many fishermen have had serious problems with these fishes.

This guy sits comfortably in the frame
Balssia Gasti. A small shrimp (only 10-12 mm) that lives on yellow and red gorgonia and gets the same colour than its "home".
Pressure too low. Detail of one of the wrecks in the south of Gran Canaria. The very low light inside the wreck made necessary a long exposure time of just 0,5 seconds. And that without a tripod!
What a wonderful eye! This is a full frame close-up of the "face" of a small puffer-fish. Only by night, when they are sleeping, is it possible to get so close. Nikon F100 with 90 mm Tamron and TCx2

Here's a nice abstract Arthur
This wreck lays in front of Puerto de Mogan, a small fishery and yacht-harbour in the southwest of Gran Canaria. There are about 30 diveable wrecks around the island, including 3 planes.
Striped Hermit from La Gomera in Canary Islands. Climbing up and over some red sponge, so you get a good look at those hairy legs. Taken with Canon A70 and internal flash
REFLECTIONS. This is an anemone (Telmatactis cricoides) reflecting in a bubble under the ceiling of a cave. These anemones are frecuent here on the Canary Islands, and show many different colour-patterns.
Fangtooth Moray (Enchelycore anatina) from La Gomera in the Canary Isles
SQUATINA SQUATINA, or angel shark caught at the north of Gran Canaria. At this same place, called "Caleta de Abajo", its very possible to meet mantas, sometimes in groups of more than 10. Nikonos V, 15 mm, ...
Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, has normally clear water with about 15-20 meters of visibility. Picture taken with a Sea&Sea DX8000G, self-constructed semi-fisheye and Nikonos SB105. NO PHOTOSHOP ADJUSTS!
Taken in La Gomera, Canary Islands. Nearly all the Glasseye Snappers here, are infested with Isopod parasites on the tail. They obviously don't go to the cleaning stations very often!
In the south of Gran Canaria are a few places with big scools of fishes. The white sand and blue water make it specially attractive. Picture taken with Sea&Sea DX8000G with self-constructed semi-fisheye, natural light, no Photoshop adjusts
Who needs a fishing rod? I could have caught these Red Mullet in my hand! Anybody know what they taste like? Taken last week in La Gomera, Canary Islands using Canon A70 and internal flash
Past weekend I dived first time with my D200, and the results really don't look bad. Here's one example
A little bit of photoshop. Normally I don't like to "play" with my images, but I think sometimes it's possible to obtain interesting results with it. Frame and illumination are original.
Sepia in it's ink.
Nightdive at Arinaga, Gran Canaria.
Barracudas, Formentera (Illas Balears) España.Camera Olympus c-50 zoom. Flash video light sony.
Ceriantharia by night. These beautyful animals are hidden under the sand during the day. Lanzarote, Canary Islands
"Speed". A canarian parrot-fish flying over the sea-grass. Gran Canaria.
A sepia had just got the dinner. Photo taken at Gran Canaria, during a night dive.
This parrot-fish is a symbol of the Canary Islands. The males are completely grey and the females have the colour shown here.

Wow, who needs photoshop with fish like these!?
Balssia gasti. This is a small shrimp living on gorgonia. Either it lives on a red or a yellow seafan, it gets the color of its "home". Its size is about 10 mm, less than a 1/2 inch.
