I went for a dive in the seaway on Saturday, and ran into a whole bunch of fishes I'd never photographed before. Recently, I went through all of my underwater photo's and catalogued every marine species I have taken pictures of... to a grand total of 143 species in just over 12 months of taking underwater photos. On Saturday, I added 12 more to that list (plus another 4 that I'm yet to identify)... here are a few of them.
Now, I don't think this was my best day of photography ever... in fact, these pics are far from it. But it was my first day in the water with my camera this year, and there were way too many fishy distractions to be too focused on my camera settings, so I'm putting it down to lack of practice. Anyway... 16 new fish in one day makes me keen as mustard to get back in there and get some better shots... which I will be doing on Friday. Anyone wanna come?
