Sea HuntMost of my stuff had Cousteau's picture on it. I think he personally built my dive gear.
I think it was US Divers.
I started when some people were still using two hose regulators.

I stole your Lionfish picture. May be my new backdrop. What are the children holding?awesome pics
lol that's me and my brother. Thats 37 dead lionfish we shot out in Belize. They are a non-native invasive species there. We made ceviche, fritters, fish fingers, pan fried whole fish, sashimi, and grilled lionfish with all of it! Fed the whole family for a little less than a weekI stole your Lionfish picture.

Heres a different pic of the same fish if you want a farther away shotI stole your Lionfish picture. May be my new backdrop. What are the children holding?
Nope but thanks. As promised it is now my backdrop. Looks great.Heres a different pic of the same fish if you want a farther away shot
Lots of fun isn't it. Same in lake Ontario without lobster. Zebra mussels made Lake Erie pretty clean about 30 feet nowWhen I went for my PADI certification in about 1973 I had already been diving a couple of years in the tropics but the instructor said tropical diving doesn't count at all in New York.
Our visibility is measured in inches and rarely does it get over three feet. On night dives you can see a little more due to the less refraction from the artificial light.
Here if you want to see your watch, you have to put it inside your mask.
My certification dive was in a muddy bay on the south side of Long Island and the visibility was virtually zero. The instructor held your hand to see if you were doing the hand signals correctly.
You always had to swim with a "probe" which we made out of a CB antenna and you held it out in front of you so you don't crash into a rock. The Long Island Sound was made from a receding glacier and left Oldsmobile size rocks all over the place and the bottom is made out of them which makes it great for lobsters and wrecks.
We also used those "probes" to tickle the lobsters out of the holes because you don't want a Northern lobster grabbing your hand because you may not get it back.
Some of those guys get up around 20 lbs. But most are a pound or so.
Assume Camera work. How do you have time to set depth of field, and shutter speed so fast. When I used a niconis with macro lens had a small field goal like attachment and had to get subject right in it. Wasted half a roll on a Sargent fish which kept attacking itJust started my 28th year as a NAUI diver and my 21st year as a NAUI Divemaster. Had the great fortune of diving all over the world. As you can tell, I love taking pics.
From a rig dive on a Flower Gardens trip.
Florida Keys. Probably my favorite domestic spot. Favorite site is the Benwood Wreck. Awesome diversity.
Spent almost two weeks in the Philippines. Apo Island would be the highlight. Just astounding diversity and color.
If the world were a fair place I'd be diving every day.
Thank you! To your question, the first thing I will say is that with macro I generally have it dialed in at the beginning of the dive and make few adjustments if I can help it. Then I just move the camera towards or away from the subject until my focal point is sharp as I can get it. Wide angle is a different story. For both though, I do my best to make a slow, non-direct approach to the subject. Less chance of creating a threat response. Your sergeant major was probably protecting a nest. Those little fish, along with clowns can really beat you up. LOL.Assume Camera work. How do you have time to set depth of field, and shutter speed so fast.

If you have the time could you identify all the subjects from top to bottom? I saved them all loving this threadThank you!

That's really too bad. I started with 2 friends both the same issue even in the pooltried it, blacked out under water, claustrophobia is a *****. I can snorkel all day long, literally, but diving is not in the cards sadly. My wife dives and loves it though yet she is not into reef keeping sadly.
Hunted them when I was there too..... though I am a wuss and filmed while my son did the spearing-- isn't it beautiful calm diving there!lol that's me and my brother.
