So there are stretches when you just can't seem to do anything right. I endure these episodes better now that I view them as just a part of the lunar-like cycle of success/failure, enthusiasm/apathy, etc.
So what, next time hope for better but mostly just show up.
At the end of October I went back to Honaunau Bay to record the bleaching of the plate coral there, as I have for the past three months. The water this week is two degrees cooler than for the past 8 weeks so I'm hopeful that the severity of decline in reef health will begin to slack off.
Here are some pics from that dive.
Over the next week I dove at Lonetree, Outhouse, Dotties and Golden Arches. This is when I realized I was in a period of crappy shooting. Shooting with a challenging lens, the 105 macro, that I've had big success with otherwise, I couldn't find things in the field of view, or there was surge taking me off the subject, or the camera wasn't working right. Anyway, I did what I could.

That dive on 11/1 was super fun anyway because of the people on the boat. Here are two of my favs, Tara and Nick.
