    Hiya went out today and it was clear enough and took a few regular focal length shots which weren't great but decided to try out the macro mode for the first time:) i'm happy with the results pity there was nothing more exciting but there you go - the fish are too effing fast!!

    Nice steady shot for a 1/30th shutter speed! Always nice to avoid scatter-back by not using the flash but can be tricky to get them this sharp... nice work! ;)

    Scuba Dive West have an underwater photography competition going at the moment, open for entries until Wed (8th Sep) night. Some very nice prizes so worth entering a few: http://www.competitionssdw.com/

    ah thanks, i was resting the camera on the rocks while i took them. the front ring on the housing is scratched to bits but sure thats probably what its there for. the current was really strong so no way of doing it handheld. you reckon one of them could win a prize? jays might have a look:)

    Free to enter so you may as well. You'd only be kicking yourself if you later saw a poorer shot winning a prize!

    Wow! Fantastic work. My daughter's in a dive club and I saw a few like this a few weeks ago. It must be fantastic to view at close quarters.

    Very clear shot, that is a beadlet sea anemone, they look like little blobs of red jelly when the tide is out.

    Very common in Irish waters, I have seen so many myself whilst diving here, it's another world down there under them there waves :)

    thanks for the comments:) wow its always good to know what i have been photographing:)

    @visuelle tell me about it. I was in the water for an hour and started getting a bit chilly and then decided to test the macro mode on way back to the bags and got carried away with these yokes and ended up spending another hour in the underwater paradise. needless to say was freezing when i got out! well worth it though;)
