Redondo - 2/16 - Mirror Mirror.....
Hit Redondo with Mr. Penders last night. Had a little fun with my hand held mirror. Pretty challenging to capture good shots using the mirror, got a couple keepers :-)
And two lovely critters, old school style :-)
Have a nice week ya'll!

Thanks for the kind words. I have done this once in the past and it is super hard to get the critters to land/walk/crawl onto the mirror. Mike helped with the Bay Pipefish by holding the mirror at various angles for me. It does break the monotony a bit and it provides a different view.

Re: Redondo - 2/16 - Mirror Mirror.....
These pictures are just really cool and creative! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
I am interested in giving this a try on an upcoming trip to Indonesia. Muck diving + Mirror might be pretty interesting. Can you tell me what size mirror you used? How do you store or attach it?
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Redondo - 2/16 - Mirror Mirror.....
Here is a picture of the mirror. Just a cheapo cosmetic mirror, one that you don't mind losing or scratching. The key is to get one that is slightly negative. I use a simply bungee loop and attach it to my rig. When I'm diving I store it in my waist strap. Again, if I lose it, no big deal.
As far as getting things on the mirror, that takes a ton of patience. Especially nudibranch. Lumpie, stubbies, and octo hate the mirror and bolt at the first sight you will need to shake the mirror prior to the critter landing to remove silt and dirt. Good luck and please post your shots.
