Sculpin ID
Grunts and Buffalo Sculpin are easy to ID. However, I find it hard to differentiate between Great, Scalyhead, Red Irish Lords. Are there some keys to ID these Sculpins?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Photo Slideshow from Bali, Indonesia
Calvin, Great shots. I realized I was starring at my screen with my mouth open. My wife said "What the heck are you looking at?" I know what she was thinking.

Daddy Long Leg at TTN?
At about 60ft we ran into this critter. Looked like a daddy-long-leg spider. It folded its legs when I got close. Sorry the photos are a bit out of focus, this guy was tough to shoot. Hopefully Penders will post his shots too :-)
Any idea what it is?

Re: New Years Night with Bob and his Lumpies
Penders, good to see you here 
I didn't even notice we found the same lumpie as Dusty2. That is pretty cool.

The previous one I posted was the size of a golf ball. This tiny fella took a brake on my buddies glove.

Re: New Years Night with Bob and his Lumpies
I followed the advice given on this board and went searching for the elusive Lumpie. It took a full 1-1/2 hour dive to find two, but we did. I must agree with other posters, the eel grass at Redondo have a ton of life. We also saw a Medusa Jelly, one of those winged slugs, and many sculpin. The Lump...

Re: A couple IDs
Two more questions. I have looked everywhere for the attached Jelly. Saw this at TTN and they light up.
Also how does one differentiate between a baby red octopus and baby GPO?

Gunnels, Gunnels everywhere
Diving at Redondo last night. Under the pipe a bit north of the pier I found a large group of gunnels. Had to share, I thought they were pretty funny

My buddy and I went on a search for Lumpies last night. Unfortunately we did not see any, but I saw two species I have not seen (or noticed) before. Can you help ID them? BTW - we were at Redondo. Thanks for your help!

Re: New UW Photographer
I took shots in RAW and Jpeg. I like that option as I throw the Jpeg on Facebook for friends and family to view. I don't care if they are perfect at that point. I used the Canon editor for RAW editing and I agree, use that for color adjustments and then Picasa (or something else) for cropping, etc. ...

Re: New UW Photographer
Smike, Great information, I appreciate it. I agree with shooting the subject in the top half due to the lack of light on the bottom. My light is on my hand so I can position the light to fill in the bottom of the photo (takes a little work though). Have you shot in RAW yet? If so, do you use Canon's...

Re: New UW Photographer
Thanks for all the advice I received, it was helpful. I got my G10 and could not wait for a strobe, so I said "what the heck". I was getting terrible shots with my Reef Master Mini. Well the investment was well worth it! Here are a few shots with minor Picasa editing. I shot all my images ...

Saltwater State Park
I am finishing up my Masters at Gonzaga. I had to put together a multimedia project on the environment and the community. Thought I'd share my finished product with some fellow divers. Take care!

Hi there. New to the board. I have been diving for about one year (about 50 dives so far). I have only dove Puget Sound and Turks/Caicos. I look forward to meeting everyone!

New UW Photographer
Hi everyone! I have been diving for about one year. During that time I have been using the Sealife Reef Master Mini. This little camera has served me well on tropical dives/snorkeling trips. However, here in the Puget Sound this camera does not cut it. I have been doing a lot of research on upgradin...
