Canon 7D, 100mm Macro, Ikelite Housing. This Lizard Fish was happy for me to get close enough with the 100mm lens, to catch his portrait. I took a few different compositions, but this was my favourite.
I wanted to highlight this little creatures breathing apparatus, so positioned myself to show its delicate gills against an ink black background.
Shelly was looking for me as I had surfaced to one side of her, trying to get her attention was difficult as she had her head under the water, so only one thing to do, take a shot.
Had an SLR with a macro lens in housing, Canon 7D 100mm Macro Ikelite.
As I popped up at 50bar(ish) was rewarded with this scene on the shore straight out of the pages of Nat Geo, couldn't believe my luck.

I was shooting for the first time that week with a digi-compact, a Canon Ixus 700 series, available light using custom white balance, and an Inon Fisheye lens. We were just waiting on our safety stop and were quite literally buzzed by these guys!
