Underwater Critters

A few shots from dive trips.

Scorpion fish. Photo taken on a night dive using Nikonos with single strobe on Ecktachrome transparency film. Date was May, 1991 at Bloody Bay on Little Cayman.

Nice shots. What setup do you use nowadays?

I like the orangutan crab shot - I find those pretty hard to capture well. I would be tempted to crop out the blown out area in the top left though.

Hard to crop very tight, as the original is a jpeg from an 8mp Canon A720 IS P&S in an underwater housing. There aren't a lot of pixels to spare. I may just go in again and paint that area darker to make it less obtrusive. Thanks for the observation.

I actually haven't been on a dive since that trip the Philippines in 2008, so I don't really have a setup now. I do still have that camera and housing, but it's really only good for closeups. The flash doesn't reach more than about 3 feet underwater.
