Pic of the Day – Hammerhead Shark

Pic of the Day – Cavern Diver in Blue Hole
I thought I’d share this picture, which used to be on the front page of my website. The blog is now the home page, so this image is buried. This image was taken on my first dive with an underwater … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Coleman Shrimp
Here is another Indonesia photographer’s mecca – a pair of Coleman Shrimp. These little beauties (the male is the smaller of the pair) are found on the magnificent (aka fire) sea urchin – a colourful, but very hurtful creature – … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Cucumber Crab
You know that expression about someone having a bug up their butt? Well, this little crab is known to make excursions up into the butts of sea cucumbers. That’s right folks, it just clambers right up in there. It is … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Digital vs Film
As diving photographers, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. The trick is to somehow translate the beauty that we perceive (real or imagined) into an image that “pops”, ie, that engages other viewers. Exposure, and composition, are … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Mangroves
Every now and then, we divers are treated to surreal scenes. This was one of those times. I have only had this one opportunity to dive in a mangrove. This is where trees grow, roots in the ocean. That’s right … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Blue Ring Octopus
New day, new venomous critter ;^) The Blue Ringed Octopus is a mecca for any Indo Pacific diver, especially photographers. But these little beauties pack a lethal punch – as one of the most dangerous animals in the ocean, one … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Leaf Scorpionfish
Despite good intentions, it has been a while since I made a blog entry. That last one on Galapagos was a biggie though ;^) In the interim, there have been a few adventures – white water rafting on the Thompson … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Manta Rays
My last post was all about one of the tiniest subjects I have attempted to photograph. The only thing smaller is a Hairy Shrimp – spotted (and photographed) on my last trip to Indonesia. I’ll share that image another time, … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Costa Rica Sunset
Taking another short break from the Favourite Places to Dive epistle… Sunsets are a favourite topside photographic pursuit. This one was taken in Costa Rica, near Puntarenas, as we loaded the boat and headed out on the journey to Cocos … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Pygmy Pipehorse
And still beavering away on the gallery. I took quite a few pix, and sadly only processed a small percentage of them on our return home. So here I am, more than a year later, finally getting to it. Procrastination … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Soft Coral Bommie
And it’s a teaser for the next chapter in “My Favourite Places To Dive” ;^) Still working at finishing up the gallery from the most recent trip to this very lively location, so there will be some pictures to share … Continue reading

Pic of the Day – Ball of Jacks
Another stroll down memory lane – this time to Cocos Island, Costa Rica (2006). Like the Galapagos Islands, Cocos Island is a mecca for shark-loving divers. You’ve gotta be a keener – the 36 hour crossing, on open ocean, is … Continue reading
Pic of the Day – Galapagos Whale Shark
I have a couple of thousand images filed in my Image Galleries. Every now and then I contribute to photo themes on the Diver to Diver forum on Scubadiving.com, and several images have been published in various locations, but for … Continue reading
