Photos From Cap de Nice May 23, 2010
The highlight of the day: a tiny crab macro shot
Today was almost ideal shooting conditions, the water was as calm as I had ever seen it, and the sun was out full force. The only thing not completely perfect was the visibility, which was better than it has been of late, but still not ideal for panoramic shots.
The best part is that I FINALLY got to really use my stacked Inon Macro lenses when I found an absolutely tiny crab, no bigger than 50mm across. I was able to get my lenses right up next to him for a super shot. I am glad I even saw him. I am always on the lookout for stuff like that, but tiny little things like that are just hard to find. Scroll down for the pics.

Caught my first eel on camera this weekend
My first eel, caught on camera
Well, it’s been a busy week, I’ve been working on a couple articles, I have lots of content on the way, just none of it quite finished! I’m working on a marine bestiary with identifications and photos of everything I have on file. It seems that is what people generally want, so I am going to give it to them. I added about 40 new photos this week, so stop by the photo galleries to check them out.
Now on to the fun stuff. Snorkeling at the Cap de Nice this weekend, I spotted my first eel, or Murenne, in french. It was awesome. He was pretty far away, and on the move. I followed him and watched him for about 2 minutes. The coolest part was watching him attack a little fish at one point. The speed at which he moved was incredible. I snapped a bunch of pics, and while none of them turned out super spectacular, I was happy with catching him at all, considering the circumstances.
Anyways ,I’ll have more info and articles later this week.
