Beautiful pics! I'll be in Maui from January 16-24. Can't wait to get back there and listen to the whales! Did you happen to see the whale shark out at Molokini a couple weeks ago?

Great shots! Pretty dang impressive, given those butterflyfish are always on the move.

Very nice as always Jim. I like the Raccoon Butterfly Fish. I saw one last year off of Fort Lauderdale. Surprised the bejeezus out of me.

Nice shots! I was just out in Maui for the last 3 weeks and I heard talk of the whale shark at Molo but didnt see it myself. There was also a monk seal hanging around for a few days, missed that too! Damn!!

Excellent, Jim! Tell me, how many of the pics you take are what you call keepers?

When I am at home I keep about 3 to 6 out of about 30 photos. Some of the discards are of the same subject at different settings along with a few practice shots to get the strobe head lined up and the white balance calibrated manually.

When I was in Bali in November I shot approx 3500 photos and kept approx 400 of them. I posted just under 100 on my website.
