Here's the closest I've gotten to a really good kelp shot so far. I call it kelp cathedral.

Renee that is a beautiful kelp photo, they don't get much better than that.

Hmmm...

That's really it. Got most everything else.

There is this big, thick, wacky Nudi that I've only heard about, and only seen in one pic - I've heard they're out here, but I never thought I'd see one out here.

I found one this weekend!!!!!! I'm pretty fired up. Of course, as I was shooting it my housing flooded and fried the electronics of the housing (Cam is fine.) I got lots of shots, but I was just getting in the groove when the strobes died. Oh well.

Here's the thread.

Here are a couple of the pics.

Nice pics of the nudi. I love the blue colors. It gives me something new to look for the next time that I am at Catalina.

What is you camera setup?

Thanks.

With two Ike DS125 Strobes. Shooting Nudis and Fish pix with the 60mm, the GSB with 10.5mm, and I use my 12-24 for Sea Lion and kelp shots.

I'm just glad the guy was slow, so we could get back a couple of times to find him.

Whaleshark is on my wishlist along with a good shot of manta. I've seen plenty of mantas but since I upgraded to c-8080 they've avoided me Oh and some decent shots of seahorses.. and and and... well decent shots of pretty much anything actually

This is the best so far
Tiger tail seahorse

Manta ray

Both shot with my old a70. No luck with the "penetrator" so far

As for me, it has gotta be the Mola-mola, Mantas, Whale Shark, Tiger Shark & Great White! No.1 on my wish list will be to capture Mike V & Simon hugging and french kissing each other! Just kidding! :lol:

Me too for mola molas. Whale sharks, humpbacks, schooling hammers. One of those crazy Yapese manta trains would be high on the list too!
