| | | **Dive Site:** _Hilma Hooker_ wreck **Location:** Bonaire **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 16mm lens, f-5.6, 1/30 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, 1/2 power, manual mode **Description:** The combination of film speed, f-stop and low ambient light, due to the depth, required a reduced shutter speed to balance ambient and strobe light.| | | | **Dive Site:** _Hilma Hooker_ wreck **Location:** Bonaire **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 16mm lens, f-8, 1/30 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, 1/2 power, manual mode **Description:** A wreck propeller almost always provides for an interesting photo opportunity because of the object size and shape, and in this case the coral growth as well.| | | | **Dive Site:** Salt Pier **Location:** Bonaire **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 16mm lens, f-8, 1/60 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, 1/2 power, manual mode **Description:** The famed Bonaire Salt Pier provides a multitude of photo opportunities for wide-angle shots, provided you look upward instead of down. The pier's coral-covered pilings and sunlit water are excellent examples. In this case, the 16mm fisheye lens increases the photo appeal by "adding" curvature to the pilings.| | | | **Dive Site:** Rock Pile **Location:** Klein Bonaire **Marine Life ID:** Frogfish **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 105mm macro lens, f-16, 1/60 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, TTL **Description:** After positioning my strobes in a seagull wing configuration with the heads angled inward and bracketing the image between f-11 and f-22, the following photo resulted.| | | | **Dive Site:** Town Pier **Location:** Bonaire **Marine Life ID:** Sea horse **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 105mm macro lens, f-22, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, TTL **Description:** This head shot of a reddish brown sea horse required that I get super close in order to "fill the frame".| | | | **Dive Site:** Habitat House Reef **Location:** Bonaire **Marine Life ID:** Barracuda **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 105mm macro lens, f-16, 1/60 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, TTL **Description:** Because of the highly reflective surface of this predator, I closed down the lens to f-16 and waited until the fish was slightly off-angle before releasing the shutter.| | | | **Dive Site:** Rock Pile **Location:** Klein Bonaire **Marine Life ID:** Spotted moray **Camera and Settings:** Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 105mm macro lens, f-16, 1/60 sec, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, TTL **Description:** I came across this moray with only one unexposed frame left. I took my time setting up because I knew I wouldn't have a second chance. Bingo!!|
