thanks jeff, most divers miss this stuff. there were about 20 people ahead of me as i snapping away and they all swam past the scorpion and he was just perched on a rock. i used a red filter with the flash to get some colour in him other wise he's the same colour as the coral behind him, even with flash. the quality has gone a bit crap in the down sizing. and when diving over here when the viz is crap, just go macro.
The light is coming, i managed to capture this when i got home from work. I was just a few minutes to late. a lot of lovely clouds where already gone. I can't wait to get the days longer again. I want to go out ya know
D300 ISO200 10mm F9 1/30sec

Tonight i ended up playing in the dark with my camera. All i can say is that the D300 stinks. ISO6400 is way to low. I still had my sigma 10-20 lens mounted from the pic posted above. And that's absolutely NON-fast glass. But it's wide angle so i can get away with 1/10 of a second. so i captured this:
D300 ISO6400 F4.8 1/10 sec
Yeah i know it's noisy, but none of my other camera's can show this trick so i'm quite happy For all ya pixelpeepers: i did noise reduction with noiseware so it looks al smeary and stuff. Peep here: Clickspot
