Pics from Lembeh, Indonesia

Awesome shots, as usual. Now you're getting me to drool over your new Nikon. I just might have to upgrade. What kind of seahorse is that?

Thanks, the yellow pgymy seahorse is a new species that was discovered in Lembeh about 2-3 years ago. I think it is called pontohi pgymy seahorse or something like that. There was an article about it in Asian Divers probably about a year ago and it also made the cover page of Asian Divers in the same issue. In the past they are found at deeper depth 30-40m at least but this year luckily they are found at a more decent depth.
D2X is a lot of fun and AF is very nice. I was shooting a lot with 60mm with 2x teleconverter and teh AF speed was not too bad but still not quite fast enough for me to catch those pgymies when they were swimming
(probably more of my skill rather than the camera since someone else got several nice shots with 70-180mm and D70).
