The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

[Scubagirlfl]

Wonderful pics! I can't believe the variety of sea life at the Bridge!
Crossing my fingers I can make it for my first time diving the Bridge after Thanksgiving (relatives flying in). Might just have to tell everyone to entertain themselves on Saturday while I go diving. It looks so awesome...

cooltech: very nice pictures: the rays are amazing. I've seen singles, but never a large schooling group. wow

OK - I was diving on Sunday at the same time as CoolTech and I didn't see those eagle rays! I still haven't found the seahorses or the frogfish either - I'm starting to think this thread is rigged!

Thanks though to CoolTech for pointing out the sailfin blenny. My pics didn't turn out too well - my camera was not behaving well that day. Thanks also to whomever pointed out the sharptail eel. That pic turned out better.

Here are those pics and some others from Sunday. Anyone planning on diving on Wednesday?

Wednesday, you say? What time? I'm booked on ScubaTyme but I'll bet you a dollar that it's going to be cancelled.

Even though the conditions were not the best for shooting them, I'm glad I got shots of the schooling pods

Ah, that was you I dragged over to the sailfins!

Actually, I photoshopped the rays into blank water pictures so don't feel too bad

I've had my share of bad camera days... I forgot to take my magnet in order to start the second strobe. I was shooting single strobe on Sunday (But, I think I only used a strobe 3 times during the dive anyway) Your pictures look great! You have nothing to worry about there. For my macro shots, I've added the focus light. It's a 5 watt focus light that adds daylight to my macro shots (That's the secret... shhhh!)

I like this shot the best... It's so real and alive

Incredible. You just had to be there, and I guess your were!

Yes, the water was "milky". I didn't like most of my distance shots

Here are some pics

And for the last... I found this guy again:

The hogfish is also a great shot Were you using a strobe? I saw a diver with I think a Canon & no strobe pass me. I found a seahorse & looked for said diver but must have gone to the no viz zone. The seahorses are scattered all about you just have to look closely

Nice pics all around.

Where was your photo "peacock flounder" taken?
Was this at the bridge?
