#323306 Favourite Image Of 2012

Posted by fforbes on 26 December 2012 - 09:18 AM

I always look forward to this thread, and always am so impressed with the talent on this site. I wasn't too happy with my images this year. I made a camera and housing switch mid-year and had a lot of bugs to work out, not to mention small talent and little imagination!

I'm going to post 2 photos, one from the last trip with my old faithful camera, the Nikon D700. (It happens to be for sale, inquire within :-) ). It was taken at the Monterrey Shootout and won first, macro in its class.


The next is with the new camera (D800) and a housing which shall remain nameless, and which was quickly returned for another brand.  The pic isn't so much a favorite but it was the first time I saw an orangutan crab with eggs.

Happy shooting in 2013 everyone! Hope to meet you on a trip!

#319646 Ambon, Indonesia image - Orangutan crab with eggs

I had never seen this crab with eggs before. I suppose his "fur" would normally cover them up. Taken with Nikon D800, 600 lens with +5 Subsea diopter_F8F3592-2.jpg eggs closeup (1 of 1).jpg

Have others seen this?

Whoops! That should have been a 60mm lens.
