I've been here in Grand Cayman since Saturday and naturally, the time is passing way too quickly. We only have one more day of diving before we have to board the plane on Thursday. Weather conditions have been less than optimal with some pretty brisk winds but even so, we've been able to get in some pretty good diving at the west end. We've been to sites like Orange Canyon, Trinity Caves, Aquazoo, and the Oro Verde.
I've been using the new Canon 5D with my 50mm lens. Although I've gotten a few keepers, I feel like I'm way too well acquainted with the delete button.
I'm coming back to GC in about 6 weeks for a photo workshop on the Cayman Aggressor which I think will help a lot.
Here's just a few pics that I've kept,,,I hope you enjoy. Robyn

It's like I sometimes say: digital is great because you can be disappointed in your pictures much sooner! ;)

Have fun and a safe trip home!

Nice stuff, Robyn. Is that tiger grouper on the Oro Verde? I remember a grouper they called "Wanda" from many years back. In fact, I think I have an old photo of that wreck when it was still intact. Anyway, very nice photos. -Clay

I dove in Grand Cayman this past February and captured 2 of the larger occupants that call Oro Verde home.

Robyn lovely photos.
I think you have the exposure and lighting spot on.
