I don’t know what it is about the Mr. C and the Christmas dive where I always seem to make out with some nice photos. Maybe it’s the relaxed atmosphere of the holidays, with the added bonus of a smaller crowd on the boat. Maybe that’s what I need to zen out and zen in for some decent shots. Or maybe it’s the sweet spot where the weather always seems to just hang in there for christmas.
Anyway, this panorama of Avalon Harbor I made by hand, because it was before the Photoshop “photo-merge” days. In fact I’d like to go back and put these through photo-merge, since they were taken from the boat and the last photo-merges i did from a boat (posted earlier) did not run through PS too smoothly. I’ve always had a very easy time with shots from land. Well anyway, I’m digging the shots of the school of juvenile calico bass.
The dives on this trip were not near avalon, such as the norm on some christmas dives. This year we started at spots just east of the Isthmus and then worked our way eastward towards Avalon.
