tribute to patterns

Thanks! Nice shot. I feel somewhat inadequate!

My avatar was cropped from a photo taken with a P5 on my first trip with a digital uw camera (midde of last year). On each dive I got maybe 5-10 shots before the housing fogged up, so I was lucky to get any shot at all. And I have not yet gotten a better one, in spite of all the improvements to my rig. One DOES need to find the subject before taking the photo ...

Yes, and it needs to sit still long enough to have its picture taken!

Saw these in two places in Komodo. This was literally my first picture taken that week. Dropped in, set my strobes, cleaned my port, turned on, took this picture. Didn't get a better one.

What IS that fish? Makes me dizzy to look at it. Perhaps that is the rationale behind the markings... make the groupers too dizzy to bite it.

It's a juvenile Pomacanthus imperator - pretty common in the aquarium trade. The adults are blue yellow, black, and white with "black sunglasses."

Sweet fish!

I have to go back to get that one. Well, along with a lot of other ones.
