Aussie Diving February & March 2013

[bfowles]

Just received my port extension and lens gear for my 105mm macro lens today Hopefully I will get to play with it this weekend.

I got a dive in on Saturday night, the viz was really bad at the start of the dive and the current was strong, which made taking photos challenging. Towards the end of the dive the viz started to improve a bit.

Can you see both Pygmys in this shot?

How about this one?

You guys - thanks always for sharing. I really look forward to seeing these

Just back from 5 weeks diving in the Philippines. Should get some Aussie diving in pronto!

Clownfishsydney I know YOU could spot a pygmy in a heartbeat from a distance most people wouldn't even have a chance of spotting from!

 

[bfowles]

Great shots BP, if you couldn't see the eye it would be very hard to spot that!

Did my first dive with my new setup, all was going well until my inflator decided it was going to stick fully open.
