Diver86, That Octopus shot is awesome! Likewise, amazing photos all around!

Here are my favourite 3 photos from this year, 2 of which I've posted in other threads...

A Red Gilled Nudibranch, at Tuwanek BC. One of my favourite dive spots within a reasonable day-trip away (not including crossing over to the Island on the more expensive ferry...). My strobe wasn't working that day, so I dove without it and used my canlight instead, not expecting to get any good photos..


An Octopus at Furry Creek, BC.. I saw it peaking its eyes and mantle out from under a rock, watching us swim by. He posed nicely for some photos, and slowly inched back out towards me before I moved on.


Also at Furry Creek, a pink sea anemone? I like this one because of the translucent, green-tipped tentacles. Anemones have a surprising amount of detail in them.

Thank you. The octopus and shrimp were taken in Cozumel with my Olympus and no strobe. Only had the light from my dive light. The blenny was taken last weekend with my new sealife and strobe on the Oryskany.

There are some great pics being posted. Makes me want to get back in the water!

Everyone's photos have blown me away. I wish I had the eye to take such captivating shots.

It's sort of fun to see what photographers whose work I follow, like Gilligan and Max, have chosen as their three. We all see our work differently!
