Thanks so much! The most difficult part, for me, is managing to stay still well enough to get the shot - and patience while waiting on the critter to pose 'just so'.

Just seconding what @BoundForElsewhere said: great pics and you are improving fast !

I have to admit, any time I need to stay very still in the water, I just go pee. Something about that sensation just makes me settle down and stop moving.

Just saying. It might work for you.

Who knows? That might just be the ticket!!

Really great pics! I love them all. Thanks for posting them. Now I know what the dive masters have been pointing at that my farsightedness has kept me from really seeing. Magnifier inserts can only do so much.

Thank you! I don't know if this might be an option for you, but there is an eyedrop that you can use to improve your near vision for about 6 hours. I've been thinking about talking to my eye doc about it - but I have a script in my mask.

Great photos Kim. You are getting really good at macro. I still struggle with the small stuff. I just picked up a second strobe so looking forward to our trip in early Feb to try the dual strobe setup. Always enjoy your trip reports.

Great close up on the blenny and I’ve never seen a bumblebee shrimp in Coz. Nice find.

I cannot tell a lie - our guide, Stef, found the sea cucumber and the bumblebee shrimp! I spent the rest of the dives trying to find more!!
