Cha-Ching... Sent the link to the wife and the conversation when:

Wife: REALLY awesome photos, How do they do that?
Me: Well, I think you have to have a flash like the $400 one I showed you.
Wife: Well maybe you are right. I think you should buy one...

cvchief, yep, a strobe will make a HUGE difference, just getting more light out there will allow the colors to show, oh! and practice, practice, practice...

here's one of a yellow stingray surrounded by tiny baby fish...

Keep that wife! Don't tell her now, but two strobes are even better.

Some very fine photos, and some very good eyes to spot what was photographed. Thanks for all of them.

jlyle great shots. All the shots are amazing. Just wondering if these were taking with DSLR or are any taken with point and shoot?

Thank you for your kind words. Some images were taken with an Olympus c5050 point and shoot (IMHO, the finest digital camera for u/w photography available at the time. The F1.8 lens has never been matched. The downside was a very long shutter lag.)

My more recent images are with an Olympus E-330 dslr. The dslr doesn't take better images, it just makes them easier to get.

I dive a lot and take many, many pictures. I only share the good ones! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
