Well, i have been inspired by Kaj and his Lembeh videos so i thought i would start a "daily" Lembeh photo thread
not exactly sure if i will update it daily but Daily Photo sounds better than "somewhat daily, more like when i remember and get around to it" as the title to a thread
Here you go: A frog fish portrait using a 105mm lens at f13 and 1/30 of a second. The selective lighting comes from me holding my fingers over my YS120 strobe (Single, the strobe, not me) This is an older photo so is with my Nikon D70 and Aquatica housing
"somewhat daily, more like when i remember and get around to it" as the title to a thread
Go with that title, I like it Really nice shot there
very cool shot. i like the lighting especially
Great shot Mike.....
See you under the water then? Not just with our hands on a cold Bintang....

Barb says 'What site was that on yesterday??"
Kaj! TK of course

Time for some super macro, this is with the 105mm and a 2x TC. Again lit with one strobe and my hand covering most of it to get just a kiss of light on the nudi (Risbecia tryoni for you nudi geeks )

Glad to see your pics again, nice shots Mikey.
Thanks Steve and Karen..
Karen, haha.. well, i guess i am as single as the strobe
Here is one from the East side of Lembeh, not too many people have dove there as everyone wants the muck. But East Lembeh is a hidden treasure of healthy hard coral and blue water

No, he didn't bite me
what kind of snake is that one, is it venomous ?
not sure, called it a bamboo snake.. was a bit aggressive though
