Blue Water Photo has an annual underwater photo contest for Southern California. This year it was on September 9th – 11th, 2016. I did two dives on September 9. Because the TG-4 is so good at macro, my intention was to shoot almost entirely macro. However, that intention changed when I got into interaction with black sea bass. There was a point underwater where a pair of large black sea bass would circle the diver, continuously. The diver was me and the sea bass were in the same location on both dives. I took almost 300 pictures, probably 2/3 of them were of the black sea bass. And the shots did keep getting better, some of the best were towards the end of the 2nd dive. I entered four categories in the ShootOut and am waiting to hear the results.
