Taken with the Nikon D700 + 60mm AFS lens. F10-F13 (depending on the shots) 1/60th. Light 2x Inon Z240s with Lee 444 gels. Thankfully the 60mm is a reasonably wide lens on an FX sensor

Alex,
Well Done! As usual, your karma is in good standing!
Very cool and thanks for showing us. I agree about the 60mm on FX with mating octos; I ran into that problem when I had the 60mm on at BHB last year (on my d200). I wished I had something a little wider, but not as wide as the Tokina FE that was my only other option. Plus, the common octopus couple I was photographing were together (mating) for nearly a week, and they are bigger than mimics - your 60mm on FX shown here would have been better.
Still, your must admit, photographing crafty octos during "heated" and "targeted" behaviors, certainly, keeps one's attention rapt!

(I don't think my post here crossed into the dreaded NWS territory...., at least I tried to be discreet)....
Thanks and good luck, Carol
