Nauticam NA-D800 in the Sea of Cortez

Hi all,

I’m running a trip through Divequest next September to La Paz, Sea of Cortez. We decided to go and check it out beforehand and had some nice encounters with the sealions and whalesharks there.

After reading Alex M’s most recent article on models and the saleability of images with people in them, I went for some of that.

D800, Sigma 15mm, Zen 200mm dome

Then tried to get a bit of animal with animal interaction

D800, Sigma 15mm, Zen 200mm dome

Brawling bulls, Olympus OMD, 8mm Panasonic FIsheye, Fit Pro optical glass minidome

Some portraits

D800, Sigma 15mm

60mm macro instead of the FIsheye

Cute female, D800, 60mm macro, 2x INON Z240

Baby, D800, 60mm macro

With sunburst, D800, Sigma 15mm, 2x INON Z240

and some other animals:

Yellowtail Surgeonfish, D800, Sigma 15mm

Whaleshark, D800, Sigma 15mm

and some colours of Mexico

D800, Sigma 15mm

Hope you enjoy

Awesome, the two sea lions kissing and the sun burst with the sea lion are my favorites.

I really like the charging bull and the upside down portrait that you posted on Facebook. Both are very strong.

The others aren't exactly far behind.

Did you get any of the pups playing with starfish and other toys?

Alex

Have you yet read about the elephant seal at Los Islotes?

No, haven’t got that far yet. The housings keep hogging the book.

Alex , encore une fois , tes photos sont magnifiques !

Gorgeous pictures , and beautiful model too

All great photos Alex. My favs are the sunburst (amazingly done!) and reef, and the schoaling surgeonfish!

Lee

Fantastic set. I keep changing my favourite each time I go through them!

Great Shots! I love your www.flickr.com/photos/alextattersall galleries.

Absolutely wonderful...

... but a Zen dome? Really?

I'm very happy with a Nauticam dome and the 16mm, myself...
