Pictures from Eleuthera

[hammerhead man]

I accidently posted in a thread when I meant to start my own thread. I recently returned from the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Here is a link to some of my pics: ScubaBoard Gallery - Eleuthera 2009. These were all taken with my DX-1G

These are some truly amazing photos! We spend a lot of time in Eleuthera but are just looking into being able to dive here. We have snorkeled quite a bit and seen some pretty interesting stuff. I didn't know that lionfish (which are not native to the Bahamas, but are an invading species) had any predators, so I was really surprised at the picture you took with the eels attacking one.
Thanks for posting these.

Hi Hammerhead,

Hammerhead, based on your previous questions on the strobes, what settings did you finally use?

MoonscapeDreamer, the lion fish was dead. The DM took a spear on most dives and wasn't shy about using it when he saw a lion fish. He discovered that when he delivered the lion fish to the eels they devoured them.

trange, in some cases I pointed the strobes slightly away from the subject to get less light, in others it was just luck. I still have to work our a solution.

Thanks to all for your comments.

Regards,

Bill
