Registered 16 years agoI always find professional photography looks somewhat 'fake'. A kind of false reality. The colours are always clearer and crisper than they are with my own eyes.
Which is part of the reason I like the photos.
Very cool underwater shots there. -

Here. Cor I'd love to do that!! Take a look at pages two and three for some really lovely shots.
Anyone else ever done it?
No but i spent 10 weeks in my gap year living on a beach on Andros in the Bahamas doing marine research. Counting fish and measuring coral, that sort of thing. Dived twice a day 6 days a week and was just the most amazing experience ever. You get to see some incredable sights. Would have loved to have had a reasonable camera to take some photo's.
Dived out over the 6000ft shear drop. Amazing, the sea floor goes from about 50 metres to literally 2km deep. Saw the biggest fucking crab in the world down there, the coral moved out ITS way.
/Sigh
My knowledge of coral reef fish species and how to spot male, female and juvenile types of all the common species hasn't come in as much handy at Uni doing Computer Science as i would have hoped.gif)

Yeah I've taken some underwater pictures but only with a couple of shitty disposables. Only 6 pics out of 50 were any good. The main issue was trying to see through the viewfinder with a snorkelling mask on. It's basically impossible so I ended up just pointing it in the general direction of the fish. It was in the Red Sea so the wildlife was interesting, if I had a scanner I'd post 'em

Very interesting article but the best part is the rig that he's using. -

I did the same thing at Dahab in Egypt, everytime I wound the film on after a shot the disposable camera mechanism made so much noise it scared away all the fish
Results were pretty crap too. -
