If you watched the cephalapods video from the other day, you may remember the small clip with a squid. I also attempted to take some still images with the 100mm macro lens, but they didn’t come out so great. Thankfully, because it was not a…
Continuing with the shaky video, here’s another one I put together… again, mostly shot with the 100mm macro lens, and mostly of several coconut octopus we found during a night dive at a muck site not far from the resort. The clip of the squid…
So I have been trying to shoot more video with the 100mm macro lens. When the results are good, they are really good. There is a definitely steep learning curve with keeping things stable and in focus, but I figured I would share this video…
Today’s video is the real treat… Ales is from the Czech Republic and is paralyzed in three limbs (only has function of one arm), but because the underwater world is a different set of physics, Juan was able to see past the difficulties and we…
Ok – a bit a treat for you here for this and the next post… while working on my Dive Master certification here at La Bila, I’ve also had the opportunity to do some fun dives with some of the guests and I’ve made a…
I have no clue what kind of moths or butterflies these caterpillars turn into, but they’re still beautiful in their own right.
So I often try to find and photograph these little crustaceans that live among host crinoids (feather stars). I tried to find a photo that made the crinoid the main subject (other than the one linked above when I was showing them swimming), and I…
This little seahorse was much easier to get to and photograph than the last one… It was not less of an exciting find during the dive though. I was glad for the second opportunity to spend another bit of time working on a really stellar…
A nice waterfall I visited on one of my days off while at Jiwa Damai.
So we found this octopus on the same night dive as the last post… and in about the same area as we were returning back to shore at the end of the dive. Originally I had thought it might have been the same octopus, but…
Iluh spotted this little guy towards the beginning of one of our night dives. He was pretty small but allowed me to get some pretty nice photos… even if it was difficult to spot on the sand.
Much like the Madagascar Cat Snake, this beautiful snake is nocturnal and rear-fanged venomous… but I think the dramatic black and yellow colors on this one make for a much more photogenic subject. I’ve been waiting for this snake to make an appearance since my…
