Goby
Just back from two weeks in Bali and sorting through 19gb of Raw. The viz (jargon for underwater visibility) was not special due to plankton so did primarily macro work such as the attached. No shortage of subjects like this, as coral and even sand are heaving with miniscule fish. I think this is a Many-host Goby ( about 2cms) but i.d. is iffy as colours of many species is extremely variable.
Canon 5D, 100mm macro, two strobes
Off to Scotland tomorrow for some real diving which will be a major contrast - water temp in Bali was 30C, North Sea currently about 7/8C!
