Red face Bonaire

Hi folks
Sorry I haven't posted for ages.

Heres a pic of a Blue Jaw Fish.
I didn't think much of it at the time.
I just banged a few shots off, I have since found out it is a bit rare.
I only have 10 shots of it, one has good composure, but out of focus.
What I am trying to say is make every shot count.

what a stunner, did you have to wait long for this fellow to show, or was he happy to show off.

Well it never stayed still, bobing in and out of it's hole.
I waited for about 5mins for it to get used to me.
Shot about 10 frames then moved on, if I had known it was rareish I would have spent more time on it.

I had never seen a Flamingo tongue before, so spent time on the ones I found
I must have 20 keepers.

I do believe now, that one of the key things in getting a good photos, is knowing how to interact with your subjects.

The Jaw fish was shot at f20 @ 125 iso200 with the canon 100mm macro
I would up the shutter speed if was taking them again.

Ho and there is a fair bit of croping involved.
