Reviews of the Nikon Coolpix 7900

Steves Digicams review the Nikon Coolpix 7900 Digital Camera
and state that


“These Coolpix cameras use intelligent technology to help ensure a balanced exposure and sharpness. Nikon’s exclusive new D-Lighting function is another new addition that can literally turn throwaway shots into frame-able memories. The D-Lighting feature can be selected in Playback mode — automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. Both cameras are also equipped with Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon which alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene.”

Spanish Dancer Photo

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

I love the photos that are sent to me by Zaid Fadul.

This is one of the most beautiful Nudibranches I’ve ever seen photographed.

Here’s what Zaid says about it:

Spanish Dancers are gigantic nudibranchs, or molluscs.  They are about a foot in length and can reach almost 2 feet. They get their name from when they swim. They flap their edges and undulate through the water.  The flapping resembles the bottom of a flamenco dress as it twirls. The other really cool part about this is the white and red cauliflower looking structures sticking out from one end.  These are the gills of the animal. Spanish Dancers feed on sponges and usually only come out to feed at night. They are a real treat to spot on a night dive
