+2 Myself and Elaine

Anything we need to bring?

Aside from the obvious of course........

SODs will be providing something for the BBQ, so bring some drinks and we should be set.

Thanks Andy for organising such a fun afternoon. By my count I got 22 species although its late so I probably missed a few. Make sure you coult the shrimp on pic # 060. Look hard you will find it!!

Anyway my 4 best shots.....


This dude was huge! the pic just does not do him justice!

It was good to see everyone out at Goat Island today

So it looks like the judging is going to be as controversial as the George W election count..

A few shots...


Little shrimp hiding behind a cray


Most beasties in a single shot contender:


Baby octopus


...and the controversial bit: 3 speicies in one shot that aren't on the ProjectLocal web site, so don't count apparently!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the toys are about to leave the pram..)

Hey! You shot that Octi on your 2nd dive! That does not Count!! Umpire, I call foul!

The octi and long tailed ray were indeed from the second dive, and as such are not part of the competition count. How low do you think I'd stoop!

...oh, yeah, did you see the photo I took of the kingfish that buzzed me

Hey Guys - thanks for a great day yesterday

Here's some of my shots

Cool shots Craig.

That Snapper looks like a monster. The one I saw was huge but it wasnt that one.

Yup have to agree, thank you Andy for planning an excellent day,we both enjoyed the dive and it was good meeting some of the crew at the barbie.

The shots are excellent all round but I have some questions -

1. Craig - you get shots as good as those and you worry about not having a flash diffuser?

2. Flipper - have you informed the navy that crays are gathering to invade?

3. Packhorse - I've heard of a trout pout but was the blue cod moving in for a kiss?

looks like the results are
Andy 22 (23 pending other judges ID of yaldwins TF)
Phil 22
Greg 21 (23 pending ID of shrimp and red cod)
craig 20

will confirm fish list asap.however it looks like everyone was very close in terms of scores........

Looks like a great day, I wish I could have made it.

Maybe SODS could make this an annual trip/comp?

yeah i was thinking we could have a winter round at the knights?
who's keen for that?

And the winner is.......?????

me , the judges couldn't find the shrimp or red cod in your photo........

will post the full list of species i got, it's so close im not sure it really counts as a win though and phil did get the 3 species photo.....

And who were the judges? My main two competitors? No wonder they couldnt find the shrimp and cod. (well the cod I can understand). LOL
