Cockerell Dorids at different F Stops
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2022 7:20 pm
Went to Point Hudson (in Port Townsend) this weekend.
Viz was still a bit murky - about 15 feet (20 at best). However - no problem looking for and shooting the small stuff.
Saw several small grunt sculpins. Kelp is already starting to grow. And more nudies are out and about.
Also - there is now an Octo living in a den underneath the barge on the deep side. Pretty easy to spot him (and his tentacles).
The biggest star of these two dives were the Cockerell's Dorids! I found four of them - all on large rocks at about 45 feet deep.
I am still working on getting used to (and learning) how to shoot with my new camera (Canon EOS R5 replaced my Canon 7D).
The f stops "look and feel" different on the R5. Below are three different CDs at different f stops. (I also tried some at F10/11 for a more bokeh affect - but they did not turn out very well.) Let me know if anyone has a favorite of the three pictures - always interested in how others see or prefer something.
Thanks,
Keith
