Philippe or anyone else...find out what the orange/red spotted one is?
~Matt Segal

Just confirmed in IE6, and all photos load there. Something screwy on your side I suppose
~Matt Segal

I'm using Firefox...you could try reloading, see if that works.

All the photos show up on that site...including the one you said was missing.

Are the photos uploaded and linked to their location on the web, not a location on your harddrive?
Is it above the text layer in Dreamweaver?
When you preview the page in Dreamweaver (in the browser), does it show up then?

I suppose my concern is based on my ignorance of how significant these trails are, and of what the current predation situation is in the area.
Cutting trails changes that dynamic, as it allows the predators to move along larger areas in a shorter amount of time, expending less energy, and increasing their hunting range.
They should all have GPS...it's not as if they need a 10ft wide trail to find their way back to the dropoff/pickup point.

One hopes that we have learned from the past and will do our best to protect the location and all of its species..."The scientists cut two trails about four kilometers (2.5 miles) long, leaving vast tracts still to be explored."
Nevermind

Hey Dave -
What boat were you on?
I was out at Anacapa on Saturday, on the Spectre.

I can only hope that they seal off the site and allow only small groups of scientific expeditions.

Now taking off in an S92 in a blinding rainstorm - I was a bit worried about that.Obviously you were worrying that you hadn't taken enough pictures of said blinding rainstorm

You must all be forgetting that Eric goes through all entries submitted, as they are received, prior to the judging. At that point, consciously or not, the names are linked with the photos.
But all this worrying is funny to read.

You forgot the official U.S. time too Richard <_ src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" alt=":D">

This is a very minor issue...but the forum time seems to be off a good 20 minutes or so. It's thrown me a couple times when I see people reply to posts before I posted them, or so I thought...

Would it be possible for any of you with Seacam housings to take a few photos of the (inside and outside) of the back as the viewfinder is assembled/removed from the back?
I would greatly appreciate it. PM is fine as well.

From: Backside of Anacapa Island, Channel Islands, CA
Date: January 28th, 2006
Locale: High-current/surge outcrop
This is by far *the* strangest thing I've ever seen underwater. To begin, yes, it was bright blue, even underwater. Secondly, it was tiny. The photo below (uncropped) is between 1:1-1:1.5. Third, yes, it is actually alive (it had such similarity to some topside beetles that I watched carefully for a few minutues, it did move and scratch at things). What I did *not* notice underwater, however, was that it's legs are bright yellow, in stark contrast to its body.
Everyone else was watching the sea lions
Appears crustacean-based...I wish I had more magnification for this shot...it was nestled right in a little dimple in an outcropped, very high surge back and forth. This first photo is uncropped, between 1:1-1:1.5 to give you an idea of scale.
This second photo is the same as the first, except it is cropped.
So, anyone? What is this thing? (And no, I'm not asking about the caprellid a cm or two below it that can be seen in the first photo...
) Leslie has mentioned that she thinks it may be a "podocerid amphipod", but any other ideas?More to come about the Anacapa trip once I have some time to edit some photos...

At the minimum, they should be able to answer your questions.

Done, thanks for the heads up.Ditto. EEv2 comes out soon - it looks awesome.
You doing away with EE for good Eric?
~Matt Segal

Thanks Philippe. If you (or others) don't mind...a couple more. (Shoddy photos, just trying to catalog)
Is this second one the same 'undescribed species' you mentioned?
~Matt Segal

I know...it never ends <_ src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif" alt=":rolleyes:">
^--Looks similar to Periclimenes tenuipes, but everything doesn't match up (not as transparent, and no lines connecting eyes). The chelipeds are orange-tipped as they are in P. tenuipes however...
^--Similar to Urocaridella antonbruunii but eye color is wrong, and banding is different...
^--Resembles Xenocarcinus conicus but has a longer rostrum (or so it seems)...
^--Similar to Periclimenes amboinensis but the patterning is off.
Good luck
I really need a more dedicated book for these IDs...

It was my understanding that Jim Watt shot/shoots a Canon 20D...unless he's upgraded in the last 4 months or so...

I had the opportunity to take a cruise with my family through French Polynesia, with landings in the Society Islands, the Tuamotus, and the Marquesas.
I only had the chance to make five dives, and in every one, the divemaster believed that everyone would see more by swimming faster...needless to say, this made photography difficult. In addition, prior to every dive, either the ship DM or local operator DM would emphatically tell me what I would see and what to shoot (between wide angle and macro), and in every case, the dive turned out to showcase the opposite of what they had recommended.
If I ever returned to the area, it would be to Nuku Hiva (of the Marquesas), where on one dive, I found a variety of species, including Lysmata amboinensis cleaner shrimp with eels, dragon morays, pipefish, dragonets, lionfish, scorpionfish, octopus, and all manner of gobies and blennies...this being just a single dive. Of course, this was when w/a was recommended. Next time, perhaps...
As a result, I have, for the first time, intermixed the diving and topside photography. Hope no one minds
. And sorry for the plethora of anemonefish... Enjoy.

I think Eric was/is shooting one of the 24mm lenses on his 1D...try PMing him...

Sometimes...you just have to take some topside photos. It's painful, I know.

Perspective is a little odd, but you sure it's not a Hyastenus bispinosus relative?
