A couple of pairs - Ningaloo

alcina · Aug 15, 2005

Lots of great creatures on my last few dives. Haven't had much time to look through the images but pulled these two out to get started!

Panda (Philippine or Eye Patch) Butterflyfish

These next guys were upside down in a little cave/overhang. Saw the filaments from the big one's fins first so went to take a look. No way to get my head and camera system in there so it was pretty much flip the camera and strobe lens up and take a guess on framing! I'm actually getting pretty good at that

Lions

Enjoy!

Very nice. Thanks

Good ones! Great detail on both.

Astonishingly beautiful IMO. It's like you airbrushed out the water. What was the viz like during those shots?

I'm partial to the blues in the butterfly pic. Nice stuff.

Thanks, All!

Viz was actually pretty good on these dives but there is a ton of plankton in the water making for tough backscatter-less shots! I was surprised at the blue colour - it looked darker in my lcd and not quite as vivid. No air-brushing - I am not that good in PS! I have a series of these and it will be interesting to find some time to see how the water changes with my settings and my angle.
