It's still morning here in Hawaii.<BR/><BR/>@ Chris in Oxford - Acidification of the ocean is indeed a growing problem -- more and more evidence accumulates, not just degradation of the coral reefs, per se, but in things like an apparent effect on the shells of sea turtle eggs, and the shell quality of molluscs and some crustaceans (they're more fragile than they used to be) -- and who knows how many other more subtle things that we're not aware of yet.<BR/><BR/>We have witnessed some degradation of our local reefs over the period of years we have been visiting them. I can't say how much is attributed to a change in the pH of the ocean, because there are other factors, too - especially silting from runoff due to the loss of plants/trees in the coastal zone as a result of development. Likewise, development usually means introduction of chemicals,from lawn fertilizers to pesticides, which also destabilize the reef ecosystem. (Think rampant algae blooms that smother coral.) I could go on -- but I'll save it for a whole post one of these days.<BR/><BR/>@ Christopher Smart - According to the notes in my logbook, that photo was taken with a Nikonos 5, and a 35mm lens, using extension tubes to accomplish a 1:2 ratio. Aperture was f/16 -- so very little ambient light -- with a Nikon SB105 strobe set to 3/4 power, aimed at the subject from just above and to the right of the lens. The image was captured on Fuji Velvia slide film (ISO 50). The trick is to get in really, really close to fill the frame completely with the subject. With paler colored corals, I would have set the strobe to full power.<BR/><BR/>@ Robert - All of my marine life photos are taken in the water, while diving.<BR/><BR/>@ Kathy - Actually, when you see them from a distance, the true colors are not evident, due to the light filtering effects of the sea water. Red things often look dark brown or even black underwater. Only when you light them artificially and at relatively close range do you get to see and photograph the true colors.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-64974045152173486792008-01-23T09:43:00.000-10:002008-01-23T09:43:00.000-10:00Bobbie - it's beautiful, and it does look soft.
