Cozumel w/ 60mm macro, September...

[O'Malley]

Just returned from a short trip to Cozumel, 3 days of diving w/ Blue XT Sea & Blue Angel, and first outing with the 60mm macro lens. First impressions...I should have opened up the f/stop for greater depth of field, using perhaps f/11-16 rather than the f/8-9 used. Having said that, most of my images have been cropped to hide the out-of-focus elements. Any, all comments welcome...

Nice! I think my gear is suffering from the dry heaves (it's been too long since its been in the water) Ice diving starts soon enough in these parts!

I feel ya...this has been the driest year ever since I started diving. Pretty sad really.

Nice shots!

I love the 60mm, it's just so sweet I spend most of my time at around f13ish...much wider and as you saw the DOF really decreases. Great for effect sometimes, but mostly I find f13 and smaller much more pleasing to my eye.

Very pretty.

Nice job! Everything looks sharp and in focus. Ahhhh, someday I'll join the DSLR arms race...

If that's the same seahorse I found last year it once again proves what a small world we live in!

There are 2 photo classes coming up at the Shedd... interested? Maybe that's the only way we're ever gonna get to dive together. You're definitely not gonna see me at "The Quarry"
