'Swirling the Bow' - A school of horse eye jacks swirls around toward the bow of the Kittiwake off the coast of Grand Cayman
'Going Green' - A green sea turtle drifts through the shallow waters of Grand Cayman
'Diving The Kittiwake' - Divers begin to descend upon the wreck of the Kittiwake off the coast of Grand Cayman
"Pink Peppermint"
I set off to photograph a peppermint shrimp, and looked inside dozens of vase sponges until I finally found this one. I used a large aperture to keep just the eyes in focus and blur the background into a soft pink.
'Southern Hospitality' - A southern stingray stops by for a quick hello in Grand Cayman
shortlistedShortlisted!
Squidward - we were doing an early morning dive off Turtle Reef and encountered a squad of squid on our return. They were so interested in us and our cameras it was like they were asking us for a photoshoot! Oly EMDEM1 12-50m lens
'We Are Family' - 7 southern stingrays glide over the sea floor off the coast of Grand Cayman
'Rush Hour On The Kittiwake' - Fish schooling over the wreck of the Kittiwake off the coast of Grand Cayman
"Sunburst Stingrays!"
Over-Under at Stingray Sandbar
No Photoshop
'Head In The Clouds' - A squid swims by in shallow water as rain clouds form overhead in Grand Cayman
'Life In The Slow Lane' - A flamingo tongue cowrie in the waters off of Grand Cayman
Diver and elephant ear sponge. I like this version with the legs apart. For me, the split legs add a sort of whimsy to the photo, like the diver is in flight. Plus, rules are made to be broken. wink
"Spring Cleaning!"
A banded jawfish expels sand from its mouth as it clears out a new burrow. It will take the jawfish up to eight hours to create the home.
We would see these beautiful banded tube dwelling anemones at the start and end of all our night dives at Sunset House in Grand Cayman.
"Old Wise Man"
A Loggerhead Turtle making some friendly fly-bys.
"The Meadow"
The bluff wall in Pedro's Bay is literally covered with life. Lots of ambient light and waves breaking overhead make for a very exciting dive.
"Swoop!" - A hawksbill turtle nearly high fives the camera as it swoops past on the north wall of Grand Cayman.
"Hide & Seek" - No Photoshop, I had the strobe positioned to create shadow, thus showing only the face of the filefish. I was lucky to find this one pecking away at a purple gorgonian, providing a nice contrasting color.
"Going Up"
A free diver heads for the surface.
"Build Up"
It is amazing to see the power these animals have. With one flap of its wings this Eagle Ray could be out of sight.
Shot was taken at sunset house sea-pool with a D300 nikon VR105mm in a Ikelite housing with two ds160 strobes Shutter-200 ISO-800 F-Stop -13 he was about a foot away from the waters edge i have never seen one there but the sea-pool is a great spot
I found this beautiful giant anemone on a shallow reef. It's a particularly gorgeous specimen for Grand Cayman. I waited for a diver to be in the right position, then clicked the shutter.
"Reef Art" - No Photoshop. Photographed using a slow shutter speed while sweeping across the reef. I used the surge to push me along.
This remora shot was taken with a d300 w/t 105mm vr macro lens
"Eye Ballin"
A Hawksbill Turtle makes a close approach to the camera.
"Water Traffic Control"
Southern Stingrays buzzing the sandy bottom of Stingray City Dive Site.
"Closer Look"
Throughout the entire dive the two Caribbean Reef sharks known to us as the 'Brothers' made passes back and forth past me, getting closer and closer with each cruise past.
