Description

Just a little break from my Rodeo captures. This one was taken in 1987 with Nikonus V underwater film camera on a night dive using Ikelite strobe. It was an invaluable experience as you had to get everything right in the camera including manual focus, ISO, shutter speed, etc or you did not get the shot. And with film it was always take the shot and find out later after developing. I now appreciate those days and the skills I learned. I have been extremely busy with Rotary Rodeo and will be putting up 150+ flag on July 4th 5:00 AM.
Will comment as I can and hope BP speed is improving.

I've never used a film camera, but sounds like a tough process. The tones, detail, timing & close up are fantastic, Emile! Still busy as a bee. #11616691
