Because of the later entry, I knew the sun was going to be at a great angle for shooting wide angle, but I couldn't have predicted the incredible viz. We had as much viz as we could ask for and we swam over the edge, down the slope and then pretty much stayed there. The nudis were EVERYWHERE. Piles of C. verrucosa scattered between all sizes and colors of F. verrillis. My buddy pointed me to a giant Dendronotus frondosus, which was great to see for the first time in awhile. I didn't end up pulling my strobes far enough back for virtually any of my shots, but I was able to edit some nice ones. The water was very chilly, but the mild air temps and glow from an awesome dive warmed us up quickly.

Peirce Island in New Hampshire was positively overflowing with nudibranchs last week. This image was captured with my Olympus OM-1 and Olympus 8mm fisheye lens to really show off the abundance of hydroids (nudi food!) and great visibility. This image features a pair of Flabellina verrilli that were each around 4 inches long. It was a beautiful day in the chilly water!

My January dive recap is live. I only managed two dives, but they were both with my new OM-1 photo rig! Check the blog for the recap and (most importantly) pictures.

Just a little preview from my dive at Peirce Island in Portsmouth, New Hampshire yesterday. Easily saw hundreds of nudibranchs while I was playing around with my fisheye lens and freezing my hands off. More pictures to come!

Captured with my Olympus OM-1 + 8mm fisheye.

I had seen Red-tipped Sea Goddess nudibranchs only once or twice before, but I saw probably 10 of them on this trip to the Bahamas. Most lived on dark colored sponges, but this one was out in the sand, which gave me a great opportunity to get in close for some super macro shots.

Captured with my Olympus OM-1 + 60mm macro + AOI +20 diopter
