I took this photo of a nudibranch 3 days ago along the Harbour Wall in Lanzarote, it had a perfect location sat on the sea bed, I wanted to fill the shot completely with the nudibranch and get as much detail as possible. I used my Sony-W390
Just showing the image with the diver putting a hand on the turtle belly could give an politically wrong image. We literally had to (gently) push the turtles away from time to time. The turtles didn't seem to mind. El Puertito, Tenerife.
this photo has not been altered, only cropped. It´s a bluefin damsel fish, but if you look at it upside down it looks like a bearded man wearing sunglasses, hope u can see it
After Tramontana ( strong wind from north ) to much reflections to use the strobe. But natural light makes the jelly ( pelagia noctiluca ) not ugly. smile

a non-diver might think this is a giant turtle judging by the diver but we know the scale is misleading due to wide angle lens perspective distortion
Lost in the crowds. Big school of roncadores in Tenerife. Olympus E330, 35mm macro, single Ikelite DS125 strobe.
This ctenophore I've seen today at the north coast from Menorca. Very nice dive.

Green turtle and diver at El Puertito, Tenerife. Probably the friendliest turtles on the planet. Olympus E330, 8mm fisheye, single Ikelite DS125 strobe.
Looks a little bit like Walt Disney's "Pete's Dragon". But it's just a small Flabellina ( Flabellina affinis ) trying to do the first lesson freeclimbing. smile

Cave system at 15m, South Tenerife, Canaray Islands
"Jelly"
This pricture remembers me of marionettes. Probably this one is playing the "Fairy Tale of the Sea"
Taken with the 50mm macro lens
"Gills"
Gills from the nudibranch Hypselodoris picta , the same individuum as on my pic "portrait of a Hypselodoris picta"
the wreck of the "Santa" not far from the coast from the island Menorca. Lot of current and 28 min. decompression stop ( depth 47m ). Anyway... a very nice dive.
I personally think the Nudibranch is Ideal to practice on, it stays still and posses nicely for you. Taken on Casio z85 camara with internal flash set to soft
