My friend Bluey

by peter perry

Blue Groper at East Wall, Bare Island, NSW taken with a Sony P8.

Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Bare Island, NSW On the 27th Dec 2004. We had this little fellow pointed out to us by another diver. Instead of searching the net for 3 days to identify, all I had to do was watch the DVD I got for Xmasâ€¦"Beneath the Southern Seas"â€¦.Thanks Akos. Photocomp January '05 - Open

Wot U Want???

by Kath

We thought we were really clever to keep finding seahorses every dive here….Until we were told by locals that where we find them is commonly known as "Seahorse Rock". Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Bare Island, NSW. Photocomp January '05 - Open

Eastern Frogfish

by Kath

Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 at Kurnell, NSW on the 26th Jan 2005. Yes, it's the same frog fish but I love it. These guys are so ugly that they're cute. As usual Kurnell supplies me with something new to me. Photocomp January '05 - Open

Seahorse

by Ákos Lumnitzer

The big-bellied seahorse is one of two in Sydney, very territorial, one can see the same specimens in the same spot for days or even months on end!!! Taken at Kurnell National Park, using a Nikonos III, 35mm lens and 1:2 extension tube, single strobe. Photocomp January'05 - Open

Pretty in pink

by Ákos Lumnitzer

These tiny tropical shrimps (Periclemenes soror) are found along the NSW coast in summer on the underside of seastars, always changing their colors to suit the coloring of their hosts. Pinkish/purple stars have shrimps as per picture, red seastars have red shrimps etc. Equipment: Nikonos III, 35mm lens with 2:1 (double life-size magnification - not 1:2) extension tube, single flash.

Curiousity killed the wrasse...

Baby Port Jackson

by Ákos Lumnitzer

This little PJ pup was part of a pack of 15-20 little babies in Watsons Bay, Sydney. We observed them for over a month in September 2001, before they moved out into deeper water and finally disappeared. Photocomp December '04 - Open

New kid on the block

by Ákos Lumnitzer

This is a new discovery from Sydney waters. The little fish, a Sydney Pygmy Pipehorse (Idiotropiscis lumnitzeri), is very hard to photograph. This is a 1:1 shot with a Nikonos III.

You're being watched!

Gotcha!
