Hi guys,

Thanks to organizers and everybody for the excellent day we had yesterday. Diving was great and it's been nice to see people from OFWF
Here are some pictures me and my buddy took yesterday on Connie & Rothesay:

Unfortunately it seems my eye and my camera lens weren't quite working in conjunction this weekend. [e.g. my pictures all suck].

However, here is one of the better ones.

This was taken almost at sand [well, zebra mussle shell] level on the Comet, while I listened to the wonderful Siren's Song. Right after I took this photo, I succumed to the lure and found myself in the middle of the paddlewheel; hovering and reflecting on the powerful experience of diving this wreck.

While the picture isn't that great... it's definately going to mean a lot to me.

The "dinner" pics will soon be available. I'm having a wee bit of trouble loading them on the photo site I use....

Photos the pics will be found in "temp"

Edited.... more pics posted 29-Jul-03 and more 30-Jul-03

This is a Beauty Eh, Having done more than a couple dives on the wreck. I can say that it's most likely the most photographed wreck around. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm including a couple of links for you also(by other board members)

Great pics guys.

maximdim - why did you choose not to use flash?
I'm about to take my first underwater pictures (diving Brockville in Sep.) with Powershot A40 and I was actually worried with its tinny flash they wouldn't come out too good. Yours are great.

Thanks.

safe diving

Flash can/will create a lot of backscater around here.

JimC once bubbled...
Flash can/will create a lot of backscater around here.

Yep. Here's an example from the Rothesay, I forgot to turn my flash off at first. [taken with an A40 BTW]

Backscater - makes underwater flash photography almost impossible with built-in flash.
I think situation is much better when you have external strobe attached. Unfortunately I don't have one. ;-0
