Wow, Chris - that's a collection of many, many great shots. You must have really been in your photo groove on this trip. Is that how it works - the more time that passes from the end of lobster season, the more dialed-in your photography gets? Just think how hot your photography would become if the DFG shut down the lobster hunt for a year! Yeah, except that half the so.cal. divers would probably begin having suicidal thoughts or something. I think you're one of the best representatives of the 5060 out there - Olympus ought to name your their official so.cal. UW ambassador.
A couple of photo quetions: Did you use your zoom capability to sneak up on the gobys? How much do you rely on TTL for metering? - do you use the TTL read as a starting point and then vary things from there?
