james 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Oh Chris, you're going to get hammered for this one. Unless that grouper just landed in your hand. I admit it is possible as I've had a nassau grouper do it to me before. Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I admit it is possible as I've had a nassau grouper do it to me before. Cheers James <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No photoshopping here James! I have known this little fish for more than 5 years. the local guides feed it daily ( something I do not do ). it will come out as soon as you approach and all you have to do is reach out and gently pick it up. Come to Guam and get this shot yourself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bangs 0 Posted October 14, 2005 An underwater shot of me from Guam and my favorite grouper! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Proof in the pudding! note the shadows from my fingers on the fish, My hand is open! the fish digs it!

dhaas 40 Posted October 14, 2005 Hey!, Shots of Bruce Yates were taken by yours truly with crappy little Canon Rebel XT He was lots of fun on this year's Shark Expedition and after that trip I'll bet he created a "checklist" for extension rings for his Seacam housing Luckily I had a "spare" 77mm B&W diopter for him to try, although I think he stopped using it after seeing no big difference with his Canon 17-40L lens. Hmmm.....Maybe this combo didn't NEED the extension ring anyway! Sorry to be off topic, just recalling lots fun getting close to sharks. David Haas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Haha, whoops! Left the PVL35 at home did you Bruce? Chris, I believe that you were holding the fish - no doubt. I was just giving you a hard time for "touching" the marine life...lol. Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marjo 8 Posted October 14, 2005 Bonnie that 2 cute! David, when do we get to see your wetpix from the MargaritaGrille? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmyates 5 Posted October 14, 2005 Haha, whoops! Left the PVL35 at home did you Bruce? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, 'fraid so! Kinda like getting to the racetrack with your hot new Ferrari only to discover you've got no gas! I couldn't believe it myself... but thanks, David, for telling the whole world about it; you've certainly enhanced all the Wetpixelers' opinions of my IQ. Of course, it serves me right for failing to credit you for those photos in my post (although you'll note that I DID do so on my website)... Oh, BTW, Eric had one space free up on h's Shearwater trip next March (tigers and hammerheads), and I guarantee that I WILL have the proper equipment for that one!

dhaas 40 Posted October 14, 2005 Marjo, James, etc. Yes, David Haas's "drunken" view of the Wetpixel cocktail gathering will hopefully not be left on the cutting room floor I DID find names for most folks (Kathy Mendes, divermaiden.com and her sweetie, Randy sharing a Grande' Margarita) plus Bonnie and her Atomic friend, Darcy, plus of course world famous Kasey, Marjo, Mauricio, Jean, Norma and others. Can identify mmore after I see what gets posted Hope all enjoy the images! David Haas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ornate_wrasse 0 Posted October 18, 2005 Inquiring minds want to know- How did you get the Santa hat to stay pointed underwater? You did not have a pointed head the last time I saw you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giles 1 Posted October 18, 2005 just takes a little bit of air trapped in it ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giles 1 Posted October 19, 2005 depends if you want the head pointed up or the hat or both !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bangs 0 Posted October 19, 2005 head or hat?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> very funny Mike! the hat only stayed on for two frames. The guy I handed the camera to was a bit slow and as soon as I exhaled the air entered the hat and it went to the surface. and according to the boat crew, where it actually popped up and held its shape for a moment. I have done these shots for others and now I include a chin strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
