Nice shot Jeff, makes me want to dive.  Where was this, Hanauma Bay?

Thanks Simon.

Thanks for the critiques.

thanks for looking.

One of many humorous moments diving on the Big Island of Hawaii. Diver

escaped without injury. Thanks for looking.

Aloha Carlos - thanks so much for the comments. I really appreciate this very useful information and hope to apply it soon. Sorry for the delayed reply, haven't checked my old postings in quite some time.

 

cheers,

jeff

Igor - thanks for your comments. Though I see it clearly listed, I don't remember adding "big" to my canon eos elan IIe. Will change that - I'm getting an education here and looking forward to learning more.

 

Cheers,

jeff

Lucky shot - interested in your feedback. Mahalo - jeff

Hey Jeff - very nice shot. Have you played around w/it in black and white?

Thanks for the look.

This is the last turtle shot, I promise. Your honest critique is

appreciated.

Where's the pixi dust? Very nice image! Cheers - Jeff

Liz and Richard - the blue is striking, but this is largely unaltered. Fuji velvia 100 film seems to really bring out the blues, so it scanned in this way. I'll take your critique to heart and see what this looks like when I photoshop down the blue a bit. Yes, I'm that guy who is still shooting film. Wish I had been shooting digital, I might have taken 1000 more photos of these turtles, but then maybe that's an argument for sticking with film. At this spot, these critters slowly glide through the water while schools of surgeon fish clean the algae off of them. They didn't seem too bothered by my presence, so made easy subjects. Thanks for checking out my photos.

 

Aloha,

Coral reef peek-a-boo. Thought it might make an interesting shot.

Your comments welcomed.

Great composition. This one would look good hanging on my wall. Nice shooting!

Hey Liz,

This is a pycnogonid (sea spider). How big was it? What a great find. I've seen them here in Hawaii, but not when carrying a camera - unfortunately. Cool critters. Fun shot.

Hey Liz,

This looks like a colony of Bryozoans to me. I'm no expert, so you should do a little more research (rather than taking my word for it). Thanks for the compliment on the turtle shot.

 

cheers,

jeff

Your critiques are appreciated.

Hey Jeff,

I really like this shot too. You should have titled it "Rasta eating hippo." This shows off this critter's texture and color morphing talents - nice capture.

How in the world did you find this? You must spend your life flipping seastars and rocks. I assume you're in Hawaii too. Nice work. Happy new year.

Very nice shot. These guys are hard to focus on - especially with a little surge...and to get that close. Nice detail. Curious, do you know what that is on the 2nd dorsal fin ray? Again, killer shot. Congrats. ~jeff
