On our recent Blue Water Photo underwater workshop trip to the Sea of Cortez I had been prepared to shoot mostly wide angle big animals. I had packed my macro lens for night dives and I figured on doing one maybe two critter dives on the trip. On the first dive I was amazed to see dozens of pike blennies.

Sample underwater photos from the Nikon D800

Here are some sample images from the Nikon D800, taken with a Nikon 105mm VR lens and dual Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobes in a Nauticam housing. Photos were taken at Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands on July 22nd, 2012. Using the 105mm with a full-frame camera was such a joy! Can’t wait to take it diving. We are also planning on taking out some Sony cameras and mirrorless lenses, super...
