Looking For High Res Images...

[boastud]

We are transforming the living room into our "diver den". There are some amazing photographers on this site. I love diving, but my underwater photography is sub par:depressed: If anybody would share their art i would be ecstatic!
Thanks,

I am sure there will be some willing to sell you some printouts. You might want to tell what size and quantity you want and what is your budget.

What is a diver den exactly?

Well the winters in wisconsin turn us all into dreamers. So our den is being transformed into a dive getaway!

I like it: the thermostat cranked, a couple of large aquaria, photos on the walls, a tasteful shade of aqua wallpaper above the wainscoting, a hammock slung from the ceiling, maybe a tank of nitrous, and Seas of Life playing on the big-screen tv. It's almost enough to make you forget you're in Wisconsin.

Boastud, I just ran across some of Chris Bangs' photos and I thought of this thread again. If I were you I would PM photographers you like individually and ask them if they will sell high-resolution images to you. The flattery might help. Here's a good place to look at what's out there:

In addition to Chris Bangs, take a look at parabolic and Mike Veitch, off the top of my head, though there are certainly many other talented photographers. When you get done here go over to Wetpixel.com :: Underwater Photography and Videography and take a look at Eric Cheng, Alex Mustard, and many, many others.

Wes Skiles stuff, since his passing I'm not sure who is managing that, but that's a lot of good stuff. Jill Heinerth is also a good person to check out, some phenomenal stuff there

You can always browse flickr. Lots of great stuff on there. Not to knock the well-known "pros" (don't care for that term) but there are many talented people out there.

I've been asked a few times if my photos could be published for non-profit/research purposes and have always been happy to do so.. I'm sure most people would be flattered if you wanted to plaster their stuff on your walls...

Sounds like a perfect excuse to get better equipment and start planning a few more dive trips
