Like Cptnkirk,I'm limited on pics.So this puts me in a pickle-no not our On-line Pickle

Do we have any underwater pics from Princess Bay? Parafins

Pickle can't un-pickle you, parafins, but Pickle can post.
With liamsaun's absence and Maggy & sea-nile heading to St. John, we could be a bit short of pics here, and hope other folks step in

Princess Bay - It was rather curious (mangrove) snorkeling. Kinda creepy in a way... or maybe it's just Halloween.

Have a nice weekend, you all, and a fabulous time on St. John to you folks headed there.

I don't snorkel, so I got nothing. Those pictures were awesome. Cool conch!

Snorkeling in the mangroves sounds kinda' creepy, but your pictures are very cool, Pickle!

Great pictures Pickle! I have never snorkeled the mangroves either. I guess it would be very different. It looks a little creepy but very cool.

Thanks for posting them!

Have never seen one but would be cool to find one someday.
Princess Bay isn't our primary snorkel spot but is nice to drop by for a different kind of snorkeling experience.

Maggy, have a wonderful trip and don't forget to amuse us with freshly taken underwater shots when you get back

Where is Princess Bay?

Pickle · Post by **Pickle** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 7:02 pm

Princess Bay is on East End Rd. (Route 10) past Brown Bay Trail driving from Coral Bay. The road runs right along the bay and you see the mangroves lined up between the road and the water. Just park your jeep off the road. Entrances to the bay are limited but there are a couple of spots you can get into the water.

All your photos are great, but the conch pic is outstanding!

curious to know pickle, what kind of camera did you use?

thanks

Pickle · Post by **Pickle** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 2:30 pm

loria, I just posted about the camera I use on the other thread called "Pictures":
http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/f ... php?t=9251

I like my Canon with its housing. It captures colors pretty well for a point-and-shoot camera in my opinion. When I take close-up shots, I try to get close to subjects as much as I can and use a "macro" setting (someone here called me kind of crazy for doing that underwater... was it you, jmq?

). I like capturing details as much as I can - like those curious tiny eyes of the conch.
I have to admit that I am very patient when taking photos underwater... well, in general too, so that helps a lot.

Thank you everyone for your kind words - looks like my patience has paid off
