Diverdoug1 photo of the week

[firstdive2005]

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).

One of the best blenny shots I've seen. Thanks for the tip also.

Do you want others to add shots?

I kept putting peices of cat food on the bottom lip of my macro port so this Queen Angel got used to my camera. We became buddies, so he is now my avatar.

I waited about 15 minutes for this hermit carb to acclimate to me enough to get a close-up of his blue eyes.

I saw this eagle ray in the Caymans last week (unfortuantely, one of my strobe batteries was almost dead.

I have not posted a pic for a couple of weeks because I was hunting in Canada, so here you go.
