This is my first attempt at a picture upload to this site, so here goes. My thanks to Dee and to DailyLunatic for guidance as to how to do this. DL sent me to a Marcus Ward article on usefilm.com called "Achieving Sharpness for Web Images." I did my best to follow the instructions....good article!
This is one of my first UW photos. It was shot on the East End of Grand Cayman in the early 80s. My first rig was a Nikonos III (still in use) and a 35mm lense. I used a 50ws ikelite substrobe. My guess is that I shot this at 1/60 at f5.6 (maybe f8) which is pretty much my standard setting back then. Film was 400asa Kodak print. The image was scanned from a print using an hp photoshop scanner and the caption was added in pictureit! The image you see was prepared for the web using photoshop LE.
I have not used the straight 35mm for years. I started with this picture because it reminded me that you can get a decent shot without an expensive rig.

Uh...could you make it a bit bigger so we can see it better?
