Lembeh again III part IVa gallery 9

Don't step on my blue(ish) suede frogfish!

Hello

Probably you guys know this but the fish look at their reflection in your camera lense when you are lucky enough to have an eye contact with them.

Great pictures!

I am (trying) to attach an eye contact of my own.

Those smaller juvie sweetlips are tough. They make a great video subject, though, if you can get a good background.

Here's my pixie:

Craig,

Wrockin' Pixie Hawk photo!!!

Ok, Your forcing me into posting the good stuff now!

Interesting the coloUr differences in the 4 shots...

Thanks, James. Unrelated but a hawkfish just the same. My longnose (this one is uncropped):

Did I mention I loved the 70-180?

1st dive at Batu Mandhi!

Bob I don't understand those Americans. They don't use "U" in plenty of coloUrful words but add a "w" in front of rocking skipping the "g"? As you are the grammar police can you advise as to the origins of this change.

Did I mention I loved the 70-180?

Yes, we were getting worried on the boat when you slipped it into a little leather pouch every night

Suppose we'll all have to get one for the next trip If my heart can stand it of course...

Almost as good as a Cyanide dispensor

Suppose we'll all have to get one for the next trip If my heart can stand it of course...

I bought the entire remaining supply. My strategy hasn't produced much revenue yet!

OK, I'll see if I can get a 'Hubble' off eBay!

Todd, language...

It's Caltex

Here's the link for 70-180's on Ebay:

The current one didn't sell last time because the guy had a reserve >$599

Look to pay between $450 and $600 for this lens - which is no longer made by Nikon. Some lucky bloke got one last week for $425!

Cheers

James

Thanks Sweetheart

Damn and I was just checking to see what one of those, and a 12-24 would cost in Canada. At least I know Craig has a warehouse full for the low low price of $1MILLION DOLLARS!

Without the leather pouch that is.

Beautiful Hawks Craig, stunning.

I notice the unusual catch-lights on Bob's 2nd shot, the Scorpion fish. Gives the Inon guns away!

PauP

Aha! He's been had!

I'll have to watch when I trade up to them. I sure hope I can get them in pink. Now that would make for a "artist of the month " shot. I don't go anywhere without my pink Inon's after trying them out once. They also make for a pleasing background to your friends shots. (insert personal testimonial from Craig here)LOL

All guns firing, eh guys?

Finally feeling better. I have, and the whole house, has had a cold etc this week. I still can't talk very well as I have lost my voice about 60-70%.

Some might say that is a good thing! Can't yell at the people at work.

...Just above Craig's longnosed hawkfish on Batu Mandhi.

Reddish one of 3 Leaf Scorpionfish

Damnit Bob I'm glad I posted all my stuff early.

Cracking shot.
