Underwater Wildlife

In addition to above water wildlife photography, some of us also venture underwater in search of adventure.

What a awesome photo. I hear underwater photo is not the easiest thing to do. Great shot!

Nicely done. Nice little clown nestled in the anemone.

Really cool shot - I really like the way you used the flash, it makes a nice, natural looking vignette.

Thank you for the comment. I use a continuous light rather than a flash. The Sola 1200 lumen Photo/Dive Light (5500K) is amazing. The continuous light lets me see the true colors before I hit the shutter rather than having to chimp after each flash shot to see if the colors are ok. Also, keeping the continuous light on the subject, the drop-off is quick for things outside of the light beam Making for nice ability to vignette the shots.

I took up diving to take more photos. Yes, it requires practice to control your bouyancy and learning hor to hold manage the current to get you shots. But it also helps you learn to relax so you can get the shots. I will post other underwater wildlife shots.
