Christmas tree worms (again!)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Christmas tree worms (again!)

Well, seeing ATJ's worms I thought I would post mine from last Saturdays dive at 'Fairylands' at Mooloolaba. Not many good ones from that dive, 2 meter swells with a 15-20 knot wind. Fair amount of surge even at 15M. Lots of fish got fed! (IE vomiting)

And a couple of nudies. The last one didn't quite hit it for focus, but was a neat nudie so I thought I would put it up anyway....

Cool shots, Doug.

Was that with the 90mm macro lens?

Nudibranchs can be a real pain to photograph unless you can get all of them in one plane.

Do you vomit through your reg (with the associated risk of a having a diced carrot causing a stuck exhaust valve) or remove your reg, and control the reflex after-vomit gasp? I always did the latter, but nowadays I only dive in calmer conditions (and drink less the night before) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Bindi, ATJ.

Yes, it was the Tamron 90mm. The shallow DOF does make it challenging. That last one was tiny too, maybe 2mm or so, must have been a juvenile.

Well, if I can make it underwater I am OK, so I have never had to make that decision, but I always tell my students to chew their breakfast well! :)

It is the surface interval that is a pain, but I usually just have a quick heave and then I am fine. I don't get sick often, but there seems to be something about the swell around Mooloolaba that gets me. :oops:

I feel for the guys that 'stay sick' for ages.....

Cool Pics Doug. Especially the first one.

Lovely colours in all of the shots.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

I am fortunate that I don't get sick - and haven't for many years. Even last week when we were crossing the Coral Sea in huge seas I was fine. It has even got to the point that I enjoy the boat rocking and have trouble sleeping when it isn't.
