| **Dive Site:** The Junk **Location:** Puerto Galera, Philippines **Marine Life ID:** Frogfish **Camera and Settings:** Digital Olympus 4040, f-8, 1/250 sec, DS125 strobe on manual, DX90 strobe on slave. **Description:** The frogfish was walking along the sandy bottom with a kind of nonchalant attitude, so I experimented with camera angles to try and portray this.|

| **Dive Site:** Black Rock **Location:** Myanmar **Marine Life ID:** Porcelain crab **Camera and Settings:** Nikon F80, Nikkor 60mm, f-16, 1/60 sec, Fuji Velvia, DS125 strobe on TTL, Duo 90 strobe on slave. **Description:** The crab was in an anemone at 20 meters and obliged by not moving at all, allowing me to play with strobe positions and apertures.|
| |
| **Dive Site:** East of Eden **Location:** Similans, Thailand **Marine Life ID:** Anemone, fish and host **Camera and Settings:** Digital Olympus 4040, f-8, 1/250 sec, DS125 strobe on manual, DX90 strobe on slave. **Description:** Both strobes were placed to the right of the lens to create the shadows and angled lighting, although the shot was complicated by the shutter lag of the 4040.|

| **Dive Site:** Condominium **Location:** Similans, Thailand **Marine Life ID:** Shoal of goatfish **Camera and Settings:** Digital Olympus 4040, f-5.6, 1/60 sec, DS125 strobe on manual, DX90 strobe on slave. **Description:** While descending from the boat, I spotted a shoal of goatfish right below me in about 12 meters of water. I was able to get one shot before they moved out of range.|

| **Dive Site:** Shark Cave **Location:** Myanmar **Marine Life ID:** Giant moray and hinge beak shrimp **Camera and Settings:** Nikon F80, Nikkor 60mm, f-22, 1/90 sec, Fuji Velvia, DS125 strobe on TTL, Duo 90 strobe on slave. **Description:** I was photographing the moray when I noticed the shrimp coming closer. I was able to alter my position to get both of the creatures in the shot.|
| |
| **Dive Site:** Shark Cave **Location:** Myanmar **Marine Life ID:** Cuttlefish **Camera and Settings:** Nikon F80, Nikkor 60mm, f-8, 1/90 sec, Fuji Velvia, DS125 strobe on TTL, Duo 90 strobe on slave. **Description:** The cuttlefish was startled by another diver and turned white. I was able to get two shots before he returned to his normal color of mottled brown.|
| |
| **Dive Site:** Shark Cave **Location:** Myanmar **Marine Life ID:** Xeno crab **Camera and Settings:** Nikon F80, Nikkor 105mm, f-16, 1/60 sec, Fuji Velvia, DS125 strobe on TTL, Duo 90 strobe on slave. **Description:** I was trying to photograph a smaller crab on the same gorgonian when I noticed this larger specimen further up the fan. It took many shots to get the depth of field correct with the 105mm lens.|
