JAM 0656

The Redlip Blenny, Ophioblennius atlanticus, can be very difficult to approach closely enough for a portrait, but patience and stealth, combined with the good fortune to find one with survival skills below the average, can result in a fairly close head-and-shoulders shot, as I was fortunate enough to attain with this image taken at the divesite known as Diary Bull just east of Discovery Bay in Jamaica.

Minolta 7000, Tamron 90mm telemacro lens, +2 diopter, Ikelite housing, dual Ikelite SS200 strobes, Fujichrome Velvia film.
