supermacro from southern california

25 divers, cameras in hand, visited Anacapa Island on an LAUPS charter last week on a day trip for 4 dives.

Macro subjects were plentiful, and even though vis was only 15ft and surge was always present, I tried some supermacro photography and regular macro shots.

I hope you enjoy the photos

The 1st 4 photos are with the nikon 105mm + subsee +10 diopter, the last 4 are just with the 105mm.

I watched this sea lion hop up 3 steps, it wasn't easy for him to do, but he did it.

enjoy,

Nice work, Scott!

Sweet shot of the rose anemone.

Wow, great shots!

Well, the seal stole the show.

Well, the seal stole the show.

Absolutely Not to take away the fact that ..the rest of the pics are really great. Somehow the skin around its neck gives the feeling that he is wearing a collar !

Thanks for sharing scott,

Cheers,
