Here are some pics from yesterday. Not up to most of your standards, but I'm getting better!

Nice pic's.. Lobos is one of my favorite dives in Carmel.. I just need to make it down there to dive for fun so I can bring my camera.

Nice pictures, Jakubson. What sort of camera setup are you using?

(I would guess an Oly 5050Z a PT-015 and an INON D-180 based on his signature - but you know what they say about "assume")

I don't know how anyone gets a shot of those Harbor Seals. They cruise by so fast usually that by the time I lift the camera they're behind me and laughing.

OOps.....somebody looks pretty stupid. I didn't assume and yet I still managed to make an *** out of me.

In this case, it would be OK to assume! It was the 5050/ PT-015/ INON D180.

Believe it or not, this guy was lying on the bottom, just checking me out. So I just slowly drifted to the bottom and kept snapping. We were eye to eye for about 20 seconds, then he slowly cruised away. He came back a minute later, hung vertically (head up) like he was standing, and watched my buddy and I for another minute.

The other two harbor seals on that dive acted like you say - I didn't even try to take pictures of those guys. They were much younger. The one in the picture was a big old boy - I'd estimate 5 feet or so.

Thanks for the kind words, folks.
