pgk Posted March 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) An octopus in its crevice. Taken using my wife's Panasonic DMC-TZ20 in its own housing at about 12-15m depth in Fuerteventura whilst on holiday recently. Not a bad little camera with its Leica designed lens, though at its best within a very limited range with its own flash. Within this range it works well enough considering. [Caveat: Octopi can suffer if photographed repeatedly using flash illumination unless they are in brightly lit water as this one was - I nevertheless kept photos of it to a minimum as suggested in the Underwater Photographer's Code of Conduct which I helped produce some years ago].

jenniferx Posted March 21, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2017 Wow- what a sight. So many beautiful colours to it and the texture is amazing as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted March 21, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 21, 2017 It's amazing that you were even able to see it the way it blends in. Thank you for being considerate of its sensitive eyes and for helping to produce the code of conduct. Far too many nature photographers are more concerned with getting the shot than with their impact on the wildlife. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert Posted April 19, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 19, 2017 www.merriam-webster.com USAGE The standard English plural of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek, and the Greek plural form is octopodes. Modern usage of octopodes is so infrequent that many people mistakenly create the erroneous plural form octopi, formed according to rules for Latin plurals.Aug 7, 2010 Very nice and caring photograph. My dear wife just taught me the correct pluralization. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
