More examples of your great underwater photography! They are beautiful. The fringeheads are always my favorites ---great faces.

I also really like the HDR of the dock and rock. IMHO, it works real well for that scene.

I needed a Ken Bondy fix. Nice to see you, amigo.

Great HDR work.....proper balance....not overloaded, and of course the eye caught the subject and dealt with it properly.

Welcome back.

Those pics are as good as they get!

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure we have several of the sarcastic fringeheads on this board.

Amazing beauty as usual, Ken, Thanks.

Polycera atra looks like it is doing quite a dance. And there is even a sea slug forum for fun, when Nomad is having a slow week...

Ken,

Are you still using film for your underwater work or was that taken with a DSLR?

I'm glad you're posting here again. It's been a while.

Thanks Igor. I've been digital since 2004. These are with a Fuji S2-Pro DSLR.

Ken, how do you sleep at night? Those critters, while incredibly beautiful are the things of otherworldly fantasies some might call nightmares. It must be a great sense of pride and accomplishment to you when you view the final shot from the comfort of your home/office to know you crossed some heavy barriers to visit their world, show us their unique adaptations. You save all of us a lot of toil and trouble and gift us with your courage and genius.
