The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

[Scuba_Jenny]

It was horrible, Fisheye, I almost cried. The poor stingray. It made national news and they were looking for the goons that harassed the poor thing.. spotted eagle ray no less....I think it died...

That video pisses me off.

I couldn't agree more. I mean yeah I'll occassionally use a cloths pin to hold a fish in place for a picture, but you have to draw the line some where.

And THAT folks is the true secret to Underwater Photography!!





*****To any newbie that might take this serious....its not.

OK, to get this back on some type of track...

Pictures from Saturday at BHB:

First, some more Stargazers (I picked him up with my bare hand and placed him where I wanted)

Then Sea Robins (Had to use a clothes pin to hold him in place)

Upsidedown Jelly (No bigger than my fist)

Porcupinefish (Kept moving so I used a splint to keep him in place)

Sailfin Blenny (wouldn't come out of his hole so I lit a fire underneath it to make him pop out)

Juvinile Flounder (I used a toothpick to keep him propped up)

I didn't have to do anything to this one...

Juvinile Lobster out in the open (I threatened his parents until he came out)

Juvinile Beaugregory (I simply glued him into place for the shot... and left him there)

Marked Brittle Star (Took him out of his house, placed him where I wanted, positioned his arms just so, and used clothes pins to hold his arms in place for the shot)

There! Last weekend's pics are done (for BHB at least)

You guys are awesome! How long did it take you to photoshop the clothespins outa the pics?
about using the splint on those puffers though...

The one I glued into place was the hardest, so I just left it like that

I haven't done the bridge in a month, but the last time I was there it was 84*.
