You have to be very fast to nail these Devil Rays. They Jump out of the water, make some somersault’s and splash back into the water. It’s a real spectacle to see. This shot this one at Catalina Islands Costa Rica I used my D2X with a 400 lens.

Two Blennies checking me out. It took me a while to take this one. There was too much current and surge. I was very happy with the result. My first real clear Blenny photo in focus.
