Rust in Peace! Wrecks, wrecks and more wrecks...

  1. Rust in Peace! Wrecks, wrecks and more wrecks...

    I've just returned from a weeks diving on the MV Esperance Star where we went searching for some wrecks off the south Queensland coast.

     

    For the first time in years I swapped from macro / marine species photography to wide angle. I used a Light and Motion 12mm? wet lens on the front of my CP5000.

     

    The images from the trip can be seen here:

    The fish life of these wrecks is the BEST I have ever seen. Here's a couple of examples:

    The wreck of the Cetacea - Sank in 1992 - 33 Metres deep

  2. Oh yeah, and I did manage a couple of dives at Lady Musgrave Island where I got to ditch the wide angle... give me critters anyday!!!

  3. I like the B/W on the Wreck but the Nudi is outstanding. Nice job Dave.
