I have been diving for over 25 years, and it wasn't until just a few years ago when I spotted my first Ghost Pipefish. These unusual, but beautiful fish are REALLY tough to find!
Once you find one, you won't soon forget the experience...

wow..what an unusual fish..it is like nothing I have ever seen...this picture of it is so clear! It is an amazing shot! Can I ask what kind of camera you use?
Hi Whitney....
Thanks.
I am currently shooting with a Nikon D300, but my underwater stuff is all done with the Nikon D70. Some day I will get a new housing for the D300, but I can't justify the cost just now.
Cheers,
Scotty
Uh - I shoot all my Stuff with the D70, too! I finance my gear through my Photography, I'm working on the D3. This year I'm already at $30.00! ;)
A wonderful ... Fish?...
Unbelievable shape and gorgeous colors.
Wow!
Cheers, Klaus
Wow, cool fish, and you really captured its great colors. What housing do you use for your camera?
Wow beautiful fish. Is that really a fish? It looked like a caterpillar. I guess there are many unique fishes right under the sea yet to be explored. Nice photo.
Klaus...Yea, would love to have the D3 too. It always seems that every time a new camera comes out, I am the first on the list to buy one...then, a few months later, a new and better one comes around. I am thinking about the new D700, as it is also full frame, and has the same CCD and low noise at low light as the D3...BUT, I am very happy with the D300, and I have a bunch of the DX lenses...ah, the decisions...
Kim....I use a Nexus housing for my underwater work along with two Nikonos SB105 strobes. I have been using Nexus for years since the old Nikon F series cameras...the nice thing about sticking with Nexus is that the ports all stay the same so that when you upgrade housings, you can still use the same ports which are NOT cheap....nor the housings for that matter...often cost more than the camera itself....arggggh.
Cheers,
Scotty
I have never seen this before, anywhere, in any book. OMG.
I shoot with a D200 mostly. For many landscapes I use a D70. Same focal length, same exposure, the D70 just has a different quality of the finished product. It must be a combination of many variables.
BTW, my first Nikon was a plain Jane NIkon F with 50mm Macro. No metering, no nothing in 1962. It made some of the best photos I have ever taken. I must dig out some slide and scan them to see if they were really that good.
Back to the photo. Nature produces beauty sometimes beyond the ability to describe. Sometime I try, but the word just won't come.

That's a strange creature. I can't imagine that it considers itself to be camouflaged with those colors!
Is that a fish? Some imaginary being from 3D animation more likely.
That is incredible! I've never seen anything like it. Even in a book or documentary. Wonderful capture of it.
