INDO TOP 10 DAILY PIX - TUESDAY, 7/21 (LAST DAY)

Despite a flooded camera (not mine - Sue Krauth's) and an elbow that landed on top of a Devil Scorpionfish's spines (THAT was mine - OUCH!!!), we had a really great day and Sue, despite the camera issue. completed her 200th dive. Here's a peek at what we saw. Be sure to check out the Ornate Ghost Pipefish picture to find all four:

Ken,
Mrs. Miller and I would like to thank you for sharing your trip and very fine photographs with us and the rest of the board. For the past week we wake up at our leisure and prepare for anther day of retirement, have breakfast then gather around my computer and view and discuss your outstanding photographs. And indeed they are outstanding. A big congratulations to you and your traveling companions for photographs well lit perfectly composed with a big WOW factor.

We had a trip a two week dive trip planned to the same area almost 15 years ago in 2001 the week end after 9-11 which of course was cancelled. We never rescheduled so now we are living our cancelled trip vicariously via your photographs in the comfort of my office.

As a long term U/W photographer, (charter member of LA UW Photo Society (UPS) and co-founder of OC UW photo Society (OCUPS) I discovered many moons ago that there was never an underwater camera I could not flood. When they do flood the make interesting conversation pieces. "A tribute to Underwater Photography." but a very expensive tribute.

Thanks for the kind words, Sam. Glad to know you've enjoyed the show so far. Hopefully I'll have the trip report and the slide show (and perhaps some video) done by the end of the next.
