[mrBubblephoto]

Hi all,
Any advice what type of photography in the Texas Flower Gardens are most desirable? Wide angle or Macro?
Going in August. Thanks

I'm headed there next week. I haven't been before but going with friends that went last year. The coral spawn is at night so I would think it would be macro Last year they saw a lot of mantas and ha,merheads Oil rigs you would want wide angle for perspective. I would be prepared for both

Both! You just never know what you're going to see. Every dive has the potential for sharks and rays and every dive has great small stuff even on the rigs. Generally I go with wide-eye. Even on coral spawn since I want the entire coral head in the frame. What makes the coral spawn impressive to me is the sheer scale of it.

Reef Houmd do you use the yellow filter at night for the coral spawn?

No, just lights.
