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. |

Marine Life ID: Sea horse
Camera and Settings: Nikon N90s, Seacam housing, 105mm macro lens, f-22, dual Ikelite 150/50 strobes, TTL

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. |

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!! |
