Hanging upside down without disturbing the sponge and scaring the bejesus outta the peppermint shrimp inside, aiming the Light Cannon to light up the inside through the translucent wall of the sponge ... ahh, the travails of the u/w photographer.

This is the shot I took right after the one that just won the Global National Geographic Photographic Competition (Nature category). I was astounded that the little crustacean held still that long. Peppermint shrimp in a branching vase sponge 75 fsw.

I was taking shots for a book on sponges when this huge Black Grouper wondered over. I wanted to get a picture of the big fish with some sponges, so I gently tricked him into the perfect position. Belize, 45fsw

There's always a topside shot to be had between, or before, dives!

excellent composition. This would even work topside. Could have been B&W?
Black and Yellow - Juvenile French Angel - Bonaire, 20 fsw
Peppermint shrimp in branching vase sponge ... a lighting challenge. Bonaire, 50 fsw.
The pastel world within... a "rare" (Humann & DeLoach) Ringed Blenny inside a Branching Vase Sponge. Bonaire's Margate Bay, ca. 50 fsw.
Baby Dock at Captain Don's Habitat, Bonaire. Footprints telling a tale...
Peppermint shrimp in branching vase sponge ... shining the Light Cannon through the sponge from the side, you never know what colors it's going to produce. And please Mr. Shrimp, hold still for just a second.
Juvenile Queen Triggerfish - curious but never holding still long enough to allow focus, except for this one moment...
Seven men, after diving all day and consuming sufficient margaritas to allow their toenails to be painted with dive flags, display their dainty feet.

OK foot fetishists!
"Keeping my eye on you..." - Nassau groupers are so funny - this gal followed us around most of the dive and just when we thought she had taken a powder, we spotted her watching us though a hole in a purple sea fan! Cayman Brac, 40 fsw. Red filter.
Hanging upside down without disturbing the sponge and scaring the bejesus outta the peppermint shrimp inside, aiming the Light Cannon to light up the inside through the translucent wall of the sponge ... ahh, the travails of the u/w photographer.
The "E.T." shot - riding a bike over the guns of the M/V Tibbetts - harder than it looks - buoyancy was an issue!
