Shots from Central FL trip on 2-18 thru 2-20

Dove Ginnie Springs on 2-18.

We arrived mid-day to several people in the water at the main spring. Didn't get any shots off with any real photographic merit - lots of fun snaps though. Our second dive was at the Devil's System(Little, Eye, and Ear).

Darcy's 100th dive.

Water levels were high, so we got a nice light show while near Devil's Ear(located inside the Sante Fe at the mouth of the Devil's run).

Excuse the noise, there wasn't exactly alot of light. Figured I'd play around at ISO400 this weekend to see what kind of results I could pull off with this little PnS. I think next time, I'll limit myself to ISO200 max...

Above two pics with Olympus C5060 in PT020 housing.

Ginnie puts a silt screen over the mouth of the spring run to keep the tannic water from intruding to Devil's Eye and Little Devil Springs.

Above shot with Oly E500

Did a third dive at Ginnie that night, nobody else was in the water, and the bottom had settled giving us visibility limited only by our lights.

More to come...

Dove Paradise Springs on 2-20

Paradise is a 20' blue hole sunk in a small wooded area behind someone's house. The little hole opens up into a big cavern with fossils all over the walls.

Darcy in the cavern light.

Looking up at the opening.

Fossils from some vertebrate protruding from the wall.

The above were taken with the C5060 in PT020 Housing.

Paradise Spring viewed from an observation deck opposite of the entry platform. Pretty little blue hole, no? Shot with E500

Get someone else to open the page, because here they are just the annoying little blue question marks.

Several other people have problem viewing my website and files hotlinked from it. On occasion, I have problems as well. I have talked to my server provider about this and this is his response.

"I've seen this problem occassionally with some ISP's domain name service not getting the updates... In fact, I had the same problem with my own ISP, their DNS was not configured properly to receive the updates, and I couldn't even access the site, but everyone else said it was fine...

Anyways, to get your default gateway, got to Start -> Run (or hit Windows key and R) then type in "cmd"... in the dos box, type in "ipconfig" and it will give you the gateway information that you are using... You can use that when you set up your network settings...

...Have them try these DNS IP's... make sure they reboot (or refresh their ip's with ipconfig /renew)

65.98.99.34
65.98.99.35"

PITA, I know, but the server I'm using is reliable as far as not bogging down or failing completely, so I'd rather not host elsewhere.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Have you ever thought of hosting your pics here suprbugman or on a free online gallery like photobucket??
