Welcome to Anthony's Nudibranchs

Underwater Photographic Societies


http://www.bsoup.org
BSoUP, the largest underwater photographic society in Britain, was formed in 1967, and holds meetings in London on the third Wednesday of each month, which include illustrated talks by experienced underwater photographers and a monthly competition. Have a look at http://www.bsoup.org/Theme_Portfolios/2006/TP2006_3.php for my Theme Portfolio called 'Cuddles', which came third in the annual BSoUP Theme Portfolio Competition. Six images projected as one, all being pairs of Indonesian nudibranchs, either cuddling or mating. (March 2006)


	Photosub Underwater Photography Club http://www.photosub.co.uk/ Started in 1990 by Len Deeley, the club is informal with a strong emphasis on improving members’ photography, providing and participating in photographic competitions, and organizing diving trips tailored to underwater photography. The social side of the club is an important element, with regular meetings/social events in members’ houses.

Reef Photo & Video http://reefphotovideo.com/ Yes, I went fully digital in mid 2006 with the fantastic Nikon D200. Reef Photo & Video supplied my Subal housing, and Ultralight strobe arms.
Alan James Photography http://www.marine-cameras.com Supplier of my Ricoh Caplio RR30 digital camera and Sea & Sea DX-3000 housing in 2003, very useful for on-site ID purposes. But I still continued with the F90X film camera.
Ocean Optics http://www.oceanoptics.co.uk Supplier of my original Nikonos V camera and SB105 strobe in 1985, and Subal housings for my Nikon F90 camera and Nikon SB25 flash in 1994.
Photo Ocean Products http://www.kensunderwaterphotography.com Ken Sullivan – manufacturer of the fantastic Ring Flash, which gives a very even column of light, and is ideal for nudibranchs, giving no distracting shadows around the gills or rhinophores.

The Slug Site	http://slugsite.tierranet.com
Run by Michael D. Miller, it is devoted to the study of Opisthobranch Molluscs. It is their hope that the Slug Site might become a way to share photos of critters new to you and new to them. This could facilitate identification of species and dissemination of new range, distribution and ecological info on species around the world. Regularly publishes the Opisthobranch of the Week, with over 600 having been produced so far. Taxonomic information supplied by David W Behrens. See http://slugsite.us/bow/nudwk423.htm for my Opisthobranch of the Week in July 2004. Along with http://slugsite.us/bow/bow424.htm.

Sea Slug Forum	http://www.seaslugforum.net
This is a site where you can ask questions and post information on nudibranchs and related sea slugs such as bubble-shells, sea hares and side-gilled slugs. Divers and amateur naturalists make many chance observations on aspects of natural history - a slug laying a particular egg ribbon, a species feeding on a particular sponge, etc. Co-ordinated by Dr Bill Rudman.

Nudi Pixel	http://www.nudipixel.net
This is a web-based identification tool for nudibranchs worldwide using photographs as the first point of identification. It is underpinned by up to date scientific classification, and is user-friendly, designed with non-scientist users in mind. See http://www.nudipixel.net/photographer/anthony_holley for my submissions.
