I will post these to the gallery but for now they are here. These were taken with a little Pentax Optio. The first three are from two weeks ago and the little octopus is from this morning.

I like the GBO (Giant Blue Octopus) behind the red octo...

Cool! Can't wait to see how the rest turned out

Nice pics!

And a neat trick for a camera newby, holding the camera in one hand and the baby octo in the other, all while maintaining perfect buoyancy and trim. Wish I could have been there to see it, and to feel your recent 60 degree air temps.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing them.

Little red octo... cutie.

The Blue Glove of Death.... gave me chills just looking at that pic. Its like being in DIR/F again... the last thing you see is the Blue Glove of Death, then all is fuzzy and cold....




A Pentax, huh? cool.

Well I didn't think he would stand out against the bottom... not only that, but we had a *little current* and a *lot of stuff* in the water.

By holding him in my hand and then releasing him as I shot the picture I was able to give the shot a contrasting background as well as a sense of scale while shielding him from the current and floaties.

It's just one of my professional UW photographer tricks.
