Good shot on sticking with it. Nice shots. Addictive isnt it?

What camera did you use? Setting?

nice shots... pretty soon you will sell your car to buy a lens, though, so move closer to the beach now while you still can!

Not bad. Next time, try to get a bit closer and more on level with your subject. Anytime you shoot down onto a subject, the photos comes out looking really flat. There's 4 basic rules...

1. Get close
2. Get Closer
3. Get level if possible
4. GET CLOSER!

;D

Oh and one last tip...shoot 'til your fingers bleed, the 'film' is free! (if you're using digital)

Keep it up! There aren't enough photo geeks in Victoria. I've been looking for sea pens and haven't found any yet in Victoria, even at Clover Point, where there are supposed to be fields of thousands of them. I used to live and dive in Vancouver and sea pens are all over the place there. Oh well, we Victorians have more colourful walls. So there!

The photos were taken at Grahams wall, a dive I will definatly do again. Thanks for the encouragement. Grahams wall was my 12th dive since being certified so hey I'm happy and just looking for dive more buddies.
thanks again

The camera was a shop rental. A sea&sea auto with auto flash. I'm just starting so I figured I would try one out. But hey I Can tell digital is the only way to go when you buy your own.
