, and, most importantly, can shoot raw images, so that you can actually edit them after the fact without sacrificing quality. At the risk of starting yet another 'jpeg vs raw' flame I'd like to suggest that you start off just shooting in jpeg format, then experiment with RAW conversions later on as...

I just bought a new digital camera and was wondering if I made the right pick. Guess I should have posted before I bought. It is a Canon G10. Any information/opinions are welcome. Thanks Good choice! =D> While the G10 is a 'point and shoot' its a top of the line model, so it has a dedicated hot sho...

You gotta admit, those male Lingcod at Edmonds are persistant. Lots of nests today, so there were lots of males beating everyone and everything up that comes too close. I swapped out my macro lens for the wide-angle for today. Lots of fun for Photographers-- getting chased by fish all morning! http:...

Does anyone know of any means of attaching a Sea and Sea strobe to an Ikelight strobe arm? I have a Sea and Sea YS90 strobe that I haven't used for awhile (not since my point and shoot camera setup). I'm thinking of upgrading my Ikelight single strobe system on my DSLR to a dual strobe setup. The tw...

Dan, that is GREAT!!! Let's see the other 3 photos! - Janna :) Here's the other three-- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/3251958824_ba051a0b9c_m.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3422/3251956438_54fc62ea19_m.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/3251125235_5228855e32_m.jpg Looking forward to ...

I've got four pictures there too. (see you guys at the artist's reception?)

Here's one---

Here's a three lined Flabellina trilineata


Sechelt Inlet, BC

Northern Hermissenda crassicornis have a silver stripe running down their cerata, whereas the southern variety has solid orange cerata with white tips. The southern variety also has a more intense blue margin on its body. The boundary range of the northern variety is roughly Monterey Bay, where both...

Its been kind of a slow winter for nudibranchs (at least for this diver). The last few dives I didn't see any at all. Yesterday I went to Titlow and despite the mediocre visibility I found these fellows. http://hershman.smugmug.com/photos/461028140_axJXR-M.jpg Shaggy Mouse Aeolidia papillosa http://...

we found a Red brotula Brosmophycis marginata , probably the most shy fish in the world sitting out in the open on a rockpile last night at Cove 2. :smt119 Not only was it out, but it seemed to be posing for its photograph. After a couple of minutes it seemed to wake up and it wriggled underneath th...

Nudibranchs are hermaphrodites-- they have both male and female sex organs so they fertilize their mate and are fertilized at the same time. This of course makes things very convenieint for them as every nudibranch is able to mate with any other nudibranch that they run (crawl) into. They don't real...

this past week I've seen quite a few Flabellina verrucosa, both at Cove 2 on Tuesday night and today at Titlow. These were both at Titlow today. Tiny little fellows, they were close to the pilings.

This seems to be a great season for finding Red Dendronotids, Dendronotus rufus . I've been spotting them frequently at Redondo, Cove 2 and Edmonds lately. here's one from Edmonds last weekend. I've been busy this fall working on my photos and putting together a 2009 calendar of local Nudibranchs, i...

I was diving at keystone jetty on Saturday morning and spied this 'Three Lined Nudibranch" Flabellina trilineata


I was happily shooting away when this scalyback sculpin decided to sit on my subject-- wouldn't get off either!

I think I'm sorry for having oringally posted this. Find something out of the ordinary and some folks want to go kill it. My two cents.

I don't think one lobster constitutes an invasive species-- I for one think it would be cool to leave this fellow alone to entertain everyone for awhile. Lobster live a long time! (although I have a feeling that the GPO not to far from him may have something to say about it too).

We found a lobster today-- my buddy Andy who's from Maine says that its a Maine lobster?

?????

sacoglossid opisthobranch Hermaea oliviae and not a nudibranch? I guess I need to get the 2nd edition of Behren's book!

thanks,
Dan

I was shooting an Opalescent Hermissenda crassicornis last weekend and I totally missed seeing a couple of nudis the size of a pinhead. DSC_5217tiny.jpg Here's another image showing two of them DSC_5229tiny.jpg the original Opalescent that attracted my attention is here. the two tiny ones are to the...

Some nice nudibranchs out at Lime Kiln Park on San Juan Island this weekend.

A Hooded Nudibranch Melibe leonina ,a Dendronotus diversicolor and a Longhorn (Opalescent) Nudibranch Hermissenda Crassicornis,

Here's my old favorite standby, another Frosted Nudibranch Dirona albolineata. At Cove 2 last night.

Dusty2, I would suggest that posters to this thread attempt to determine the scientific name as it allows people to better find your images. For example, there are a number of nudibranchs called a "Sea Lemon", but if you call it Anisodoris nobilis then there's no confusion. And to make mat...
