Even in the shallow waters of the South Jetty on the Island of Palm Beach, spectacular sights like this GIANT SEA ANEMONE are found easily by novice snorkelers.
Tiny fish like this BLENNY can be found by just slowing down and looking closely in small crevaces. They only look big when magnified enormously by the camera lens.
Sometimes a BLENNY will pose for you, and sometimes they retreat into their little homes---you have to approach slowly.
Homes can be places like this tiny "tunnel" into a coral formation, or even a bottle they feel they have protection in.
These juvenile HIGH HATS are another tiny inhabitant of areas like the protected reef along this jetty.
If you would like to see a MAJOR issue of SFDJ, with an enormous collection of tiny Macro life photographed in shallows like the jetty and other nearby areas, please click here on the LEARNING TO SEE ISSUE. Not only is this a collection of some of our best macro photography, it also is a basic tutorial on how to get started taking underwater photos!
