Gonna give it a go, traffic be damned!

Behavioural and pathomorphological impacts of flash photography on benthic fishes Conclusion This is the first study to investigate the combined pathomorphological and behavioural impacts of photographer behaviour and photographic flashes on animals. We conclude that the effects of photographic flas...

I'm going to test out the traffic and try and make it.

Out this week. Might try next week. Reports of carmageddon seem to be better than expected.

This is a pretty awesome blog comparing nudis to Ziggystardust.

14 lumpies and I didn't see a single one! Had to go back yesterday and found 6. Great pics gdog and a fun time. Sorry I'll be missing them till the tunnel opens in Feb!

6:30 meet at Redondo. Tides look good for lumpy hunting and winds not off the charts... yet.

This will most likely be my last ThThTh until the tunnel opens because traffic is going to be even more of a cluster than it is already!

Ventusky app:

I'm not sure. Forecast is 35mph south winds and there's an almost 14 foot exchange. So, will be super low tide. Halocline also makes for bad conditions for lumpy hunting.

I'm out. Have a work holiday event. Next week will be good.

Will show up for dive #2.

Regs are back but camera is still in the shop. May join for dive #2.

If my camera and regs are back from the shop I'm in.

I got to enjoy hanging out in the boat and eating cookies in the sun while you all were grabbing such great shots down below! Nice work everyone! I'd gladly do it again! Puget sound king crabs for everyone!

Nice work! I love the octo that climbs up onto a perch on the barnacles and the orange wolf eel!

Thanks very much Sharkb8!

I wouldn't say it was an argument. I just took a knee. Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks SJ!

Thanks Sharkb8! I forgot to put the video behind a paywall! Next time.

The benefits of peak buoyancy control! Maybe some was done in post.

It was good editing and a lot of very good fish faces.

Thanks Derek!

Thanks for the flashback back to this summer trip. Love the octo and china!

No diving for me. Camera and regs in the shop. Might stop by for dive #2.

Thank you sir.

That is a styling portable gear setup table! Glad you got to experience the east wall. Nice way to feature dive buddies and the spotted aglajid. I realize I've seen them before. White balancing will help with the colors.
