Well, I got a second chance to test out my UW photo skills last week. A bunch of us Scubaboarders headed out to Ginnie Springs for a Saturday of diving. I had a great time during the trip, and it was nice meeting everyone. I did have a chance to take some of what might be considered "photographs", instead of just snapshots. The first one I have to share is an attempt at a sillouhette shot. I'm going to call it "Blowing Bubbles", because of there were so many divers down there, it was hard to get a pic without bubble interference. It does add some eerie-ness to the photo, I guess.
The next pic that turned out kinda wierd was this one of Wendy in the Little Devil cave entrance. This system almost always has crappy visibilty, due mostly to swimmers that enter the water there. I still can't figure out just what happened (in the lower left of the pic).
The next pic is one of the Ginnie Springs cavern entrance. Lots of potential to get some nice shots at this site. However, here's a good example of when to turn your flash off. The little bit of backscatter kinda ruined the photo.
Here's another pic of a super snorkeler at the cavern entrance. Again, this one would have turned out better without the flash.
The next one is a pic of some random fishies. It looks like this one turned out a little better than some of the others. This is at the same location.
