Saturday's (6/12) Maui pics

[Gilligan]

Today's dive was on the WW II LVT-4 wreck at 57 feet with Bob, a Maui visitor friend and former co-worker.

Bob checking out the wreck.

Bob finds an M1 Carbine bullet after it being in the ocean for approximately 60 years. A definite "keeper".

Awsome pics, again. One thing, that's not and M1 carbine round. They are only about 2 inches long. Looks like M1 Garand aka 30/06.....So, Ive ordered the 5060, Im taking a photo shop class, yet somehow I just don't expect pics like yours. Ever think about writing the underwater photo book? I could sure use some tips.

I lived in Maui and I don't know that one. Any chance you'll share?

Wildcard,
1. Thanks for setting me straight on the M1 round. I should have known that. I was in Army Basic Training in, ahhhh, sometime around 1963. I was in one of the first Training Company's that switched from the M1 Rifle to the M14 Rifle, which is also a relic at this point in time.
2. The LVT-4 is at 57 feet located off the Maui Prince Hotel in the Wailea area. Approx. 100 yards North of it at 60 feet is an Armored Mark 4 Tracked Landing Vehicle. It no longer looks like this photo I took as a boat anchor is alleged to have pulled it apart.
Neither are a shore dive as they are too far from shore.
3. Never would write a book as I am an amateur photographer. As far as taking good photos, it's all about knowing your camera and practice, the latter of which I get to do a lot of because of where I live. The Mark 4 shot below was taken before I started using Manual White Balance.
