Friendly Manta - 09-04-2007, 01:15 PM


From last week at the Flower Garden Banks. This shot actually has a funny story - I had my housing set up w/ tripod to make an underwater pano. This manta starts buzzing Sarah and I so I take off w/ the housing, tripod, and the whole shooting match. I bet the manta was laughing at this funny looking contraption!



Shot w/ the 17mm Tokina and 2 Ike DS200's

Cheers
James

Great shot. Did you end up getting any pano shots? If so, I'd enjoy seeing them.
