The only way to keep DD alive is for us to start posting pictures and talking about cameras.

After several months of non-camera dives, I was able to get into the water here in southern California with my old Olympus E-330.  Although visibility was poor, opportunities for macro photography were abundant.

Nice  series of shots. The last one is my favorite. I always enjoy cold water pics cuz I ain't never gonna go there 

It does seem no one is hardly here anymore.

Nice pictures.  And cold water stuff is something I will never see in person either.  Thanks for posting.

As far as cameras go, I did buy a D800 and have been playing with it.  I guess I should post some photos from it.  It requires a steadier hand than I have.  I guess I'll have to start shooting at faster speeds.  I will never house it.

Wonderful pictures.

It would be nice if you could get an 'updated' shot of the caviar every few days.

I agree.  My friend Phil and his wife, Merry, have some earlier images of the roe.  Unfortunately, it hasn't been practical to return to the dive site on a regular basis to chronicle their development.

Great pictures Jim. Good to see you posting again.  It has been lonely here lately.

I hope we can revive this friendly place

Jan,

As long as you and Jim keep putting your spectacular images here, I'll return every day to check.

Please show me a Whidbey H. crassicornis to compare.

So glad to see you posting these great pictures, almost makes me want to cold water dive....  As always your images are breathtaking.  Here's hoping you and Margaret keep leting us in on your cold water world of California.

Great, looks like it took some of our California friends to breathe some life into DD 

Jim, here are some of our H. crassicornis slugs :

Jan,

Your H. crassicornis are much paler.  I wonder if that's due to differences in food.

Thanks.

Jim. Maybe is the sun, or lack of it. I am also much paler since I moved from San Diego to Whidbey

#5 is awesome Jim. Put it on the wall!

Keep the photos coming. I will dig some up too. I am as guilty as others.
