Monday Photo ~ Octopus/Squid

[Dee]

I sure seem to have alot of favorite critters...these are just a couple more!

This octo was taken with my old MX-10 on a night dive several years ago in Coz.

These squid photos were taken in 10-12 ft. of water, in ambient light, no strobe or internal flash, with a C-4040/PT-10

Dems some nice looking pictures. Unfortunately I have only ever seen a single squid, and octopi (octopus?) seem to hide from me if I dive anwhere that they might be.

Octopi... one of my favorite subjects. Here's a shot of one from this weekend. It was a small one wedged in a crevice so it stayed still and I got some good close-up video footage.

Dee takes better pictures than me because she has a better camera. That's it. Yes.

I think Dee lives in an aquarium. That's the only explaination that I can think of looking at all the pics every week.
