Dumaguete macro photos - Canon G9

[eagerbeaver]

ob maybe some Damselfish

I can sign you up for a fish ID class if you like... Damsel fish tend to have shorter and wider body with a more distinctly separate tail...

This is a peacock razorfish or peacock wrasse or for the scientists Iniistius pavo.

Realizing that it's the photographer who makes or breaks the shot, I still would like to know what camera system you use, the lens for the macro life, and f stop. Nice depth of field specially the 2 nudis together.

Thanks for the ID! The macro pictures are at shot with a Canon G9 at f8, no strobe and no external lenses.

I would like to start varying the focal distance to produce some more interesting depth of field effects - saw a good presentation at Atlantis by their resident diving Photo Pro that had some very clever shots.

The frog fish is awesome! Wonderful. More reason to go back to Duma and see more of these.

The frogfish and the cardinalfish are my favourites! Here is a different crop of the cardinalfish.. you can clearly see the eggs through the open jaw... right the way down to where they are visible through the skin below.
