The star polaris, also called northern polar star above firs. The stars are rotating 15 °/h counter-clockwise around the north celestial pole. The brightest star near the north celestial pole is currently Polaris. In 12'000 years it will be Vega. Tha'ts due to the precession of the earth's rotational axis.

Aargau
A bee is starting from a dandelion. Even 1/2000 second exposure time is too long to make the wings visible. Maybe try using a flash next time. — EXIF: Nikon D3; Δt=1/2000 s; f=105 mm; f/10.0; ISO 800; 2011-04-06 12:35:17

Brothers/Daedalus, Egypt
This grouper was just swimming away when I took this picture. That's the disadvantage of a wideangle lens. One has to get very close to the animals to fit them into the frame large enough. Some don't like this. — Nikon D200, Nikkor AF-S DX 12-24mm, Little Brother Island, Red Sea, Egypt, 12 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/125 s; f=24 mm; f/5.0; ISO 200; 2011-11-12 13:57:16

The wreck of the SS Numidia which sank in 1901. What you don't see on that picture: Here on that corner the current was extremly strong. The bubbles did not go up, but stayed in a whirl in position. I had trouble swimming to the current shadow and almost threw away my big bulky camera. Also not good with a slight cold and decompression problems in my forehead. — Nikon D200, Nikkor AF-S DX 10.5 Fisheye, Little Brother Island, Red Sea, Egypt, 13 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/250 s; f=10.5 mm; f/5.6; ISO 200; 2011-11-13 9:50:04

This is a Red Sea sailfin tang (
Zebrasoma desjardinii

Can you see the water drops on this picture. That was the last one before the flash started getting crazy and I noticed water in the camera case. At the end of the dive there was about a mug full of water inside. Luckily I had the dome port and fisheye lens, so there was enough space around the camera. Only the TTL converter electronics got damaged. Camera and lens were dry and survived. In the meantime I have removed the TTL converter entirely and used only the tree pins (trigger, ready, ground) from the flash. TTL never worked reliably because neither on the camera nor on the strobe the +/- intensity could be adjusted. — Nikon D200, Daedalus Reef, Red Sea, 15 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/250 s; f=15 mm; f/6.3; ISO 200; 2011-11-15 10:15:38

This picture has been photoshopped. I masked the foreground with the anemone and fishes and processed foreground and background separatly with white balance and contrast. The result looks somewhat like a picture with mixture light. — Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 10.5mm Fisheye, Daedalus Reef, Red Sea, 15 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/80 s; f=10.5 mm; f/4.5; ISO 200; 2011-11-15 14:48:15

The reef is full of divers, forming a curtain of bubbles. At some dives there were a lot more than on this picture but then I had the macro lens with me or was so perplex that I forgot making a picture of that theatre. — Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 10.5mm Fisheye, Daedalus Reef, Red Sea, 16 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/60 s; f=10.5 mm; f/4.0; ISO 200; 2011-11-16 5:57:43
Finally I encounter a big swarm of barracudas that stays compact while approaching and then I don't have a strobe wigh me. — Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 10.5mm Fisheye, Elphinstone reef, Red Sea, 16 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/100 s; f=10.5 mm; f/5.0; ISO 200; 2011-11-16 6:47:06

This picture would habe been nice with some light from the strobe to get the colour of the barracudas. But blue in blue looks also nice. — Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 10.5mm Fisheye, Elphinstone reef, Red Sea, 16 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/100 s; f=10.5 mm; f/5.0; ISO 200; 2011-11-16 6:48:32
The zodiacs of the many safari boats are passing by over the heads of the divers and make awful noise. A wonder that there are any fish left here. — Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 10.5mm Fisheye, Elphinstone reef, Red Sea, 16 November 2011 — EXIF: Nikon D200; Δt=1/160 s; f=10.5 mm; f/6.3; ISO 200; 2011-11-16 6:53:29
