Snorkeling in Culebra


Rascal

Recommended Posts

All photos taken with a Cannon A710IS with DC6 underwater case. I am still learning how to use it so all pictures were taken with the pre-programmed "underwater" setting and then edited with Picasa (just cropped and the "I'm feeling lucky" button).

 

I'll probably break these up into a few posts, but here's the whole album if anyone's interested: http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/Ras...rkeling%20pics/.

 

Enjoy:

Some butteryfly fish. These were really skittish and hard to photograph (they swim much faster than me). Always saw them in pairs, and never more than one pair anywhere near each other.

I also took a couple of videos, but haven't been able to upload them to photoshop yet.

 

Thanks for looking. Hope you all enjoy. We sure did. :biggrin:

 

Just a shame we have to wait a whole year to go back to anything like that. :cry:

Visibility was much better this year than last, especially towards the latter part of the week when the surf calmed down some.

 

I was very happy and pleasantly surprised with the performance of the camera, especially considering I really had no idea what I was doing. Most of the fish pictures, for instance, are cropped quite a bit (I wasn't quite THAT close to them) but the photos came out pretty well even blown up like that. Picassa helped a lot with the colors and brightness, but I feel I could do a lot better once I figure out the whole white balance - aperture - shutter speed - depth of field - . . . , errr, once I learn photography.

Wow, beautiful pictures.

What kind of tangs are they?

 

Thanks.

Most of those pictured are Atlantic Blue Tangs (Acanthurus coeruleus), though there are some others mixed in. I'm afraid I have to get out the books to be any good with identification. :blush:
