More pictures...

Well...I'm really chuffed with a few of these..especially this one in particular
Yes, I know it's only a coral-banded shrimp, but set against the pink/redness of the sponge it looks lovely...

I'll post up the others on my blog once i've uploaded them

btw, if any of you are interested - this picture was taken at the Lesleen M Wreck out here.

Lottie, I don't know your lingo.

What is chuffed?

lol...sorry its an english-ism..it means "i'm really really pleased with myself"

HTH ;)

I like the red sponge backdrop too.

It's taken me a while - but here's a link to the other pics. Enjoy ! :)

Lottie, your U/W photos are getting much better. I really enjoyed looking through your album. You know I love wrecks, so of course they were my favorites. By the way the front of the boat is the Bow.

Can't wait to see your next photos.

Looks like a Peterson Shrimp..

Next time, stick your bare hand next to it. Patiently wait for it to begin picking
the little bits of whatever it sees on your hand. Doesn't hurt... I still have three fingers left... Never felt a thingy...

lol

Thanks for that Ace. The guy that deals with the UW cameras and stuff asked me to try the new strobe that they'd just got - when I gave him the camera back I told him that all the pics before the Lobsters (that I haven't posted up!!) were used without the strobe on as I forgot to turn it on. D'oh!

Hopefully next year I'll get my camera setup with all the UW gear and be able to take more pictures!

Lottie's photo is a Stenopus hispidis, a Banded Coral Shrimp.

I hope so as well. I really love UW photos, but I have not been much of an UW photographer myself. I find I am too busy exploring to take photos, but I love to have them. I know I would like doing UW video much more than still, but to do that right is very expensive. There are other toys I need to get first. ;)

Keep posting those photos!

Nice pics, Lottie :)
