Christmas Trees under the Sea
Uploaded: April 15, 2006
F/3.5, 1/40sec, ISO-50, Kahaluu Bay in Kailua Kona, 9:40am, Camera in its underwater case with a 2T Macro Sea & Sea lens. These little worms are colorful and difficult to photograph as they 'suck' themselves back into the coral head with the slightest movement of water or light. This is definitely one of the challenges with underwater photography while snorkeling. They come in a rainbow of colors.
