Do you know that the best Indonesian reefs carry maybe some 80% of the world coral creatures and plants, with new species discovered every now and then by biologist and pro photographers. And me never pay attention to them. Some are so small that my macro photo friends needed so much time to point them to me cause I don't know what to look for..........my mind must be too fishy...he he he.
There are only 3 general names which I call them by :
1. Poisonous
2. Can sting
3. Delicous !!!!
Wha ha ha ha. I hate their difficult to pronounce sciencetific names.
When I was teaching scuba diving for fun, I have two hand signals to use when pointing out marine creatures to my students.
One represent "Don't touch, it sting !!"
The other is : "This is one Yummy-Yummy species "
So after 40 students I stop teaching....my hands just felt so itchy without a trigger.....can't do it anymore pointing so many delicous stuff without getting any.
Sometime I felt embarass that many people are so keen and happy to look at the coral creatures whereby I simply ignored it.
I seen so much but almost knows nothing of their names.
BTW, those photos are good. Many of the world's best photographers and videographers are ex great hunters, somehow their instinct and silent approach works wonder with the cameras.
