Re: Canon G10

At the risk of starting yet another 'jpeg vs raw' flame I'd like to suggest that you start off just shooting in jpeg format, then experiment with RAW conversions later on as...

Re: Canon G10
I just bought a new digital camera and was wondering if I made the right pick. Guess I should have posted before I bought. It is a Canon G10. Any information/opinions are welcome. Thanks Good choice! =D> While the G10 is a 'point and shoot' its a top of the line model, so it has a dedicated hot sho...

Love a Lingcod
You gotta admit, those male Lingcod at Edmonds are persistant. Lots of nests today, so there were lots of males beating everyone and everything up that comes too close. I swapped out my macro lens for the wide-angle for today. Lots of fun for Photographers-- getting chased by fish all morning! http:...

interchangeablity of strobe mounts
Does anyone know of any means of attaching a Sea and Sea strobe to an Ikelight strobe arm? I have a Sea and Sea YS90 strobe that I haven't used for awhile (not since my point and shoot camera setup). I'm thinking of upgrading my Ikelight single strobe system on my DSLR to a dual strobe setup. The tw...

Re: Nudibranch ID Help - From California
Northern Hermissenda crassicornis have a silver stripe running down their cerata, whereas the southern variety has solid orange cerata with white tips. The southern variety also has a more intense blue margin on its body. The boundary range of the northern variety is roughly Monterey Bay, where both...

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
Its been kind of a slow winter for nudibranchs (at least for this diver). The last few dives I didn't see any at all. Yesterday I went to Titlow and despite the mediocre visibility I found these fellows. http://hershman.smugmug.com/photos/461028140_axJXR-M.jpg Shaggy Mouse Aeolidia papillosa http://...

red brotula
we found a Red brotula Brosmophycis marginata , probably the most shy fish in the world sitting out in the open on a rockpile last night at Cove 2. :smt119 Not only was it out, but it seemed to be posing for its photograph. After a couple of minutes it seemed to wake up and it wriggled underneath th...

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites-- they have both male and female sex organs so they fertilize their mate and are fertilized at the same time. This of course makes things very convenieint for them as every nudibranch is able to mate with any other nudibranch that they run (crawl) into. They don't real...

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
this past week I've seen quite a few Flabellina verrucosa, both at Cove 2 on Tuesday night and today at Titlow. These were both at Titlow today. Tiny little fellows, they were close to the pilings.

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
This seems to be a great season for finding Red Dendronotids, Dendronotus rufus . I've been spotting them frequently at Redondo, Cove 2 and Edmonds lately. here's one from Edmonds last weekend. I've been busy this fall working on my photos and putting together a 2009 calendar of local Nudibranchs, i...

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
I was diving at keystone jetty on Saturday morning and spied this 'Three Lined Nudibranch" Flabellina trilineata
I was happily shooting away when this scalyback sculpin decided to sit on my subject-- wouldn't get off either!

Re: Lobster in Puget sound?
I think I'm sorry for having oringally posted this. Find something out of the ordinary and some folks want to go kill it. My two cents.

Re: Lobster in Puget sound?
I don't think one lobster constitutes an invasive species-- I for one think it would be cool to leave this fellow alone to entertain everyone for awhile. Lobster live a long time! (although I have a feeling that the GPO not to far from him may have something to say about it too).

Re: Northwest Nudibranchs
Dusty2, I would suggest that posters to this thread attempt to determine the scientific name as it allows people to better find your images. For example, there are a number of nudibranchs called a "Sea Lemon", but if you call it Anisodoris nobilis then there's no confusion. And to make mat...
