This looks pretty cool. Nice colors and clear for underwater shooting. Something I can't do with my camera. WAITING for the fish face though LOL #653523Steve Lesgold May 11, 2007
Thanks Peaches. This also was a learning shot, trying to figure out what the settings needed to be. Turns out that shooting really shallow is nothing at all like shooting even 10 feet down. #4272824Nancy (Peaches) Harker May 11, 2007
Where do you go scooba diving around here, I think that would be fun. #4272841Steve Lesgold May 11, 2007
The only time I dove outside warm ocean water was the day I got certified in 1990. It was in a mud hole in southern Ohio. It was about 22 feet deep and the water was not even 40 degrees. I am not exaggerating when I say that the visibility was less than 3 inches. The only other time I even wore a wetsuit for diving was off San Diego; the water was about 70 degrees. I don't like wetsuits; although I'm not typically claustrophobic, they make it harder for me to breathe and I don't enjoy that. The pool shots were taken in Los Cabos in Mexico in December a few years ago; sunniest and bluest sky I've ever seen. Most of my real diving has been in the Caribbean, but we had one unbelievable trip to French Polynesia where I dove as well. That was far and away the best diving I've done. I do see divers in Lake Monona though. #4272896Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
