nice topside action shot Patrick
Kangaroo nudibranch. Maui, Hawaii. Very uncommon.
This octopus actually came out of hiding on the reef and began to put on a fantastic color display that the camera couldn't capture, then retreated. I suppose I was too near its abode.
Hermit crab taking refuge under a cushion star. Maui, Hawaii
A sea pearl, the largest single-celled organism, does its best "Tiger Eye" impression. A simple subject that came out ok under the strobes.
Gold Lace nudibranch, Maui, Hawaii. Found just below a huge frog fish. Completely missed by the group who were distracted by the froggie. Once they moved on, and the dust settled, I mined a little gold.
White Mouth Moray, Maui, Hawaii.
Longnose Hawkfish, Maui Hawaii.
One last kaleidoscopic image for 2010. Another good diver's table cloth pattern. enjoy.
Kaleidoscopic image from a macro shot of a box star.
Kaleidoscopic image from a Day Octopus.
Christmas Tree Worms. Grand Cayman.
Conch Point. Grand Cayman.
Dont know what this is. Couldn't find it in any of the books. Beautiful coloring. Looks like a small stonefish/scorpionfish by its coloring. Shark nosed goby visible for size comparison. Help welcomed on ID'ing it. Grand Cayman.
Beautiful fish. Love the coloring. Grand Cayman.
As a rule, Photoshop's panorama function is easy to use and the results are very good. This time....not so good. This is the actual output. Maybe I spilled some wine on the computer?
Noticed this "hydra" atop a coral. Don't know what it is.
Secretary Blenny, Grand Cayman.
Pederson's shrimp. Grand Cayman. Common, but after I looked at the shot topside, I saw the anemone in the background. Just managed to achieve a soft transillumination with the strobe that looks really nice.
Sharknose goby on coral. Love the "3D" effect of the coral and the depth of field.
