Sounds good to me, but I don't want to see the print bill!
 
Hey CT,
If you nail that backlit seahorse, that will be a kick*ss shot.:D:D
This one is closer...

that is also really cool.:D:D
just my constructive criticism if its alright.
I think putting the camera flat on the bottom
might have a cooler effect and give a cooler
angle to the photo. Might be worth
just playing around with.
Like you did with the stargazer
where you were right
on its level. that was
a really cool photo.
I would say you nailed
the back lighting on the pikeblnny:D
 
I was told once by a pro photographer you want to make the background black. But since I don't own an underwater digital camera.. take that advice for what its worth. :)

... and I was just giving an example of a picture with lighting the way someone asked me to light it :cool2: (If it were a paying customer you'd be dang sure I wouldn't be pushing for a black background... lol)

To me, it's better with natural lighting and a representation of what the animal looks like (like the seahorse krista liked). On the other hand, I can see how people enjoy a different lighting or shadow scheme to make an art statement in their images or to make the art fit the space where it will be located
 
Great muck dive at Blue Heron Bridge on Columbus Day!

We were lucky enough to dive with a well-known macro photographer, local resident, and new diving buddy we met at the D.C. Dive Show. Awesome dive! We were under for a total of 104 minutes, and although we didn't see any nudibranches, we saw plenty else--including a juvenile shortnose batfish!

I'm going to try to attach some of the photographs our son took, but I'm a newbie at this, so please bear with me!

Hmm...I have no idea why they came out as thumbnails instead of regular photos, but it is still more than I expected, so I hope you get the idea!

Thanks again for a wonderful dive and I recommend this dive to all divers!
 
Nice pics Sorrows!

The nudis are really small so they take some practice to find them. I kind of have to go in "nudi mode" and focus on finding them.
