Here is a nice Pipe fish found at the Spot Bay Park. They were all over the place, must have been their breeding season. I never see them in the winter.

Diver 85, you have so many really beautiful wide angle reef scene photos. I may have asked this before, but if I have, I have misplaced the answer. What shutter and aperture settings are you generally using and what do you have for lighting on those photos? I have a trip coming up in about a week and a half, and I really want to try to improve the quality of those kinds of shots when I take them. Thanks!

AD-----thanks so much for the kind words..........I shoot a Canon S95 in a FIX housing with twin S&S YS 110s......I ALWAYS(well almost always) have my camera on Macro in Manuel mode using(mainly) F 5.6 and speed of 1/160th.....If you'll go to my Flickr page(linked below) and click on my 5 days @ Brac & 1 day off Little Cayman from last Oct, 2014, each individual picture's settings will come up on each photo, be sure & click 'SHOW EXIF' to get everything(when you're on an individual photo)..........Hope this helps---&--have a great trip, I'm already jealous..
