NICE!!!! Sir, care to share how did u get so close to the blennies with a strong light and still didn't scare the fish away.??

I always have the problem scaring them away when i go near them.

Thanks. You have to be patient and move slowly. Sometimes they will flee and then move right back into position. So, basically just being patient and willing to sit there for a while.

Very nice. The sharpness and colour of those macro shots is great. Was all that macro shot with a CX550 in a L&M housing? Did you use an extra macro lens?

Beautiful work! The clarity, composition, and stability of your macro shots are exemplary.

Thanks a lot for sharing. As a PNW native and former Portlander / Seattleite who has been absent too long, I love this stuff.

Thanks! Yes, the macro shots were with the CX550. I used the housing's internal flip macro diopter to focus in close. The CX550 has a 10X optical zoom. The combination of the two allows for nice macro capabilities.

Well, i tried shooting a Sand Goby and waited for 10 minutes... Nope, they didn't turn up... Haha... WIll try harder next time.

I also use a tripod, so after setting it up, I can swim away from the scene. This sometimes give the creatures more courage to come out if they don't hear a bubble blower outside.

thanks... that's a good tips....
