Well it seems that unless you can eat it no one bothers to give anything a common name so Ceratosoma amoena will have to do.This shot is a classic example of having the wrong gear and making the best of it. All set up for wide angle, I came across this wonderful little guy no more that 15mm long. Removing the wide lens did not help as I simply could not get close enough.
Ok, time to compromise. Super-macro mode on the C5060 shuts down the flash system but at least allows me to get close enough. So now I am close enough but it is 20m down with no source of light! Using my largest aperture and the slowest shutter speed I could manage resulted in this ‘not too bad’ shot. Just imagine what the colours must have really been like. Oh, well… next time 🙂
Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that’s what you do! ) …Robert 🙂

What a cutie.
(The nudibranch isn’t bad either.)
Seriously though, wonderful shot in spite of wrong set-up!
Another typical Robert scenario, making fabulous out of ordinary.
