Justin AKA Thriveoutdoors is back this week with a fantastic image of a Lionfish taken during a dive at Onna point. This was taken during a daytime dive outing that turned into a night dive! Justin says: This Lionfish was not very excited about me shoving a camera in his face. His temper flares as he prepares to plunge his venomous spines into the threat.

The last time I was out snorkeling up that way (I am too scared to dive!) I saw a lionfish, it was pretty far away, but what a great thing to see. Maybe I will get diving one of these days! Thanks for the great shot, Justin! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

November 27th THEME : Lights

• Submissions due on Friday, November 27th before midnight in Okinawa.
• Remember to title and tag your submissions with the theme.

For the week after next what about 'Market'. Okinawa is known for its markets, whether fruit and veg on the side of a quiet road or the covered and bustling markets of Kokuksai or Gate 2, there are markets everywhere...show us some wares or some sellers...

Please don't post any 'Market' photos up on Flickr until it is that weeks theme, but this will give people some more time to think about some photos they might want to take and submit.

PS: If anyone has some cool ideas for future themes, just email me (address at bottom!)

HOW TO JOIN THE PHOTOGRAPHY FUN

1. If you are not already a member, create a free Flickr account.
2. Join the PhotOkinawa group.
3. Upload your photo to the group.
4. The title, content and tag of your photo need to match the weekly theme.
5. Your photo must be submitted by Fridays at midnight Okinawa time.

Every Monday, the photo of the week chosen by myself and the previous week's photographer will be posted here alongside the theme for the following week. It’s not a straight up competition but rather a playful way to exercise our photographic eye while sharing our take on Okinawa with each other.

And onwards it goes.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

1. One photo per person, per week, please.
2. Watermarked images are fine, but please keep them from distracting from the image.
3. Go out there and get your best shot of the theme!
