UW photos from CoCo View

[Doc]

I simply go extremely slow and try my best to blend into the environment. My goal is to be as least threatening as I can.

What this might mean... is to approach most of these types of critters from the lowest possible point... very, very slowly along the bottom... with perfect buoyancy... most of these creatures are aware of predators that strike from above... you come up, inch by inch, from the side~ at their level.

Now you are talking....sign me up for the 1st course!

I took payment in the form of Diet Cokes from CraRacer. I'm good with that. It helps offset the Tres Leche Cake and other CCV deserts. Sure it does. Besides, CajunCru, I already sent you and the Diva your home study kit. :crazyeye:

When we are diving at CoCoView, Herself and I do guided night dives and Naturalist Tours if divers agree to make a $30 donation to CCV's DiveMasters Benefit Fund.

What was the lens to subject distance for the blenny? Was the picture cropped or is that the size of the original picture?

Most of my shots are taken within the minimal focus limits of the lens I'm using. If I had to guess, anywhere from 6-12cm. The photo in the first post was a crop. Here's the original for you:

Nice Pics! Can't wait to get back in the water, been 4 months since leaving Roatan, I think I'm going through withdrawals!

Thanks for posting the original of the Blenny, I too was wondering if it was a crop as I've never been able to get that close with my 60mm. I was thinking maybe you knew something I didn't

Trust me, I know nothing more than anyone on just about every topic

Only 31 days before I return to CCV. Seems like an eternity. :froggy:
