Diverdoug1 photo of the week

[diverdoug1]

This is a thread for my photos, I will try to post at least weekly, instead of weakly
I took this photo last week in the Exumas in the "Thunderball Grotto" This cave appeared in 2 Bond movies, as well as the movie Splash. Ambient light only. It won the weekly photo contest on the Aquacat.

Based on the title, is this a private "my photo's of the week", or are you looking for others to add some?

I have a couple, but didn't want to highjack your thread.

Macro of a Black-cap fairy basslet. He was charging me!

Sorry but it isn't clear to me why this is in tips and techniques instead of in the general photo section. Not to be curmudgeonly but this seems to be the wrong place. Most likely it should go in the contributors gallery section, I think.

This have been moved to the general UW photography area as it contains neither *Tips* nor *Techniques* but rather just photo's.

This is a Spiny Head Blenny. He is about the size of a grain of rice. The photo tip would be to use a focus and exposure lock function, while shooting in TTL (slightly setting overexposure because of the low reflectivity of you subject). A reletively open (f16) aperature allows for good exposure even with fast shutter speed).

Great shots, Doug. Thanks for sharing.
