I looked at the Backscatter sale as well and did bite on something cool and it seems to be a legitimate deal. Backscatter Mini-Flash / Snoot combo for $314. In December when released it was $499. https://wetpixel.com/articles/backscatter-announces-mf-1-mini-flash-and-os-1-optical-snoot The MF-1 Min...

Great lumpy snaps, Jesse!

I need to find some lumpsuckers that aren't orange or brown next season.

I will not be diving with the group for the foreseeable future. Would be willing to do dives with a single buddy planned via DM. Have fun. Bring wipes because those Redondo bathrooms are filthy.

Fun photos! That PMH shot must have been very difficult to get at that eye-level angle.

I'll post some of my recent shots to the thread later tonight. Been meaning to share those here.

I'm glad someone else got a picture of the painted anemone eating the crab.

Sorry I was unable to make it at the last minute.

Plan to be there.

How are we feeling about group outings given the coronavirus?

Great cephalopod pics. And the seahorse picture is really cool. It reminds me of the pygmy seahorse pics except not nearly as flat as a lot of those turn out. The texture of the gorgonian (or whatever it's on) really pops.

The shot of the ornate ghost pipefish with the silhouetted crinoids in the background is really cool.

Really cool iguana photos. How close did you get to the whale shark? I remember how hard it was to get a shot of one with good white balance at that depth. Looks like you were at 60-70ft?

I'm going to be there.

I'm out.

Was there any macro around or just Sea Lions and urchins?

A couple sculpins maybe? Wasn't really looking. Pretty sure you could do a night dive off the dock if you wanted, though.

Food and hospitality are still very good. Rob and Amanda are great. Really appreciated Amanda's responsiveness over email while I was trying to make my way there.

That’s a cool lumpy shot. Don’t think I ever really noticed the texture on the tail before.

Earlier this month, I headed up to BC to dive with the steller sea lions at Hornby. Getting there was as much an adventure as being there. My trip started Sunday, and my original plan was to catch a Saturday Nanaimo ferry to give myself some slack. All Saturday ferries were canceled because of high ...

No lumpies. No stubbies. Saw a tiny red octo.

Ill be there

On Saturday, 7 of us met at Sunrise for a dive. Getting in was a bit difficult with the surface current pushing us out. We were crowded together hanging onto the buoy waiting for everyone to get ready to descend. Once we were down, the current did not really let up. I was trying not to get pushed ou...

Nice pics! Been trying to find a sea spider for months with no luck. Gdog, I would adjust your white balance and saturation a little bit to make the blue in the BRO pop more.

Carter is interested. I'll connect you.

Eh. If conditions are bad, I'm fine just staying home for the night.

Is anyone going this week?
