Old pics

[talbazar]

Dear All,
I finally edited some pics from my Good Friday dive trip.

Of course C&C are most welcome.
I've tried to ID the Nudis and hope it will be quite correct, but you may raise up some mistakes as well.

Set up:
Olympus Mju700 + Oly casing
No strobe (time to invest I guess)
No lens

Cheers,
Pierre.

#1: Diver
No post processing at all on this one as I really don't know what to do, if you've got any tips to share, they're most welcome...


#2: Phyllidiella nigra


#3: Phyllidiella nigra


#4: Grouper


#5: Scorpionfish

[talbazar]

#6: Glossodoris atromarginata (??)


#7: Risbecia apolegma (not sure)


#8: Risbecia tryoni


Thanks for viewing.
Pierre.

#2 and #3 are probably Phyllidiella pustulosa

#7 is likely a Hypselodoris bullocki although the page does say recent studies suggest that it should be categorised in the Risbecia genus.

Here is the site I used for ID purpose...
For #2 and #3:
Phyllidiella nigra

For #7:
Risbecia Apolegma
Even if I've been hesitating with the Hypselodoris bullocki

Thanks a lot for helping me out though...
It's always really tough for me to ID nudis as I don't really know what to look at but the obvious features.
Cheers,
Pierre.

seaslug forum is pretty comprehensive with colour variations of a certain species. But gotta know roughly which species before you go hunting for pic to ID...

Well, you're right
A lot to learn on this topic. But I like it so, I would say I just need to get a bit more into it and try to remain sane

Any comments on the pics?
Cheers...

Buy the nudi encyclopedia book by neville coleman, hehe...

i like the bullockii/apolegma, it's got the feeling of motion coming towards you. try shooting level or from below a subject. Head-on works most of the time and makes the pic more 3-D. Think the pros on the forum can give better advise than me, haha...
