<p>This <a href="tags/john_dory.html">John Dory (<i>Zeus faber</i>)</a> allowed me to get real up-close and personal with a
somewhat zoomed shot with a fast shutter speed, effecting a nice dark
background.
Near the P29 and Rozi mid-way anchor.</p>

This was an especially tame specimen, coming up close for several nice
shots.
(Unfortunately, they reflect so much…)</p>

<p>This was a great picture for me because I finally managed to coordinate
a large aperture, fast shutter, and strobe to effect a dark background.
The anchor betwen the Rozi and P29 was littered with nudibranchs,
among them a <a href="tags/cratena_peregrina.html"><i>Cratena peregrina</i></a> and some <a href="tags/flabellina_affinis.html"><i>Flabellina affinis</i></a>.</p>

entrance waiting for me to get ahead for some backfinning photography.
Which for me is much harder than it sounds.</p>

<p><a href="tags/alan.html">Alan</a> was kind enough to wait motionless (breathless?) in the <a href="tags/p29.html">P29</a>
while the sediments I kicked up settled a bit before taking this next
shot.
I managed still to mess it up by being zoomed all the way out, so this
is cropped from the original vignetting.</p>
