Trumpetfish wide angles from West Palm Beach...

[Marriard]

Vis has been up in Florida the last few weeks, so this makes places like West Palm Beach up to one of the worlds premier dive sites.

When the conditions are like this, you break out the wide angle lens and dome and never take it off - you can always shoot macro another day when the vis s**ks.

To my delight, this three foot long Trumpetfish decided he didn't care whether I was there or not, and let me FINALLY get the shots I have been trying to get for at least two years of this fish.

(Mostly) F6.7, 1/60, ASA 100, Nikon 12-24mm lens, Pair of Inon 220 strobes (-.5/full), Fuji S2 Pro

Enjoy,

Great pictures and I think they are so cool! The other day I was checking out an octopus and I thought that my buddy had pulled up next to me.....but it was a trumptfish checking out what I was checking out....When I moved my head out of the way...he zoomed in for a look...it was so fun.
