F3 in Aquatica Housing, Puerto Rico.

Robert I do not understand the technical details, but I like the picture, the harmony in the green blue and the unusual position (whats going on here?) and the effect mentioned making it a bit sureal, jean

Robert, can you please explain how this picture was created?

 

<<< Dome port on housing gives the "above/below" waterline effect... >>>

 

Thanks,

Haide

<<< Dome port on housing gives the "above/below" waterline effect... >>> Part of the lens was below water line and part above. Great angle and colors. A striking image. Congrats.

Shot in Puerto Rico, with F3 in housing, and girl frolicking.

Attractive and very well done...

Looks interesting, but I find it too small on even the large version to tell much.

 

The above/below water surface is a nice effect. But upload a bigger version for us to appreciate!!!

 

;-)

More info on my pic: The only way to get that above/below water line is to use a camera in an underwater housing, and shoot where the lens (usually a wide angle) is half above the water, half below. You CANNOT get this effect using a regular underwater camera (like the Nikonis). Unfortunatly a good housing is very expensive (more than a thousand dollars...). More of my pics at www.americanphotojournalist.com. Thanks!

I wish you had posted a larger version of your picture. The current version is hard to read, but is eye-catching.

Please, send a bigger version.

The picture is a very interesting, but too small

Okay, here's a bigger photo...

Over/unders are the most difficult shots to get right. I have to take one I was completely happy with.

 

This one is quite lacking. The position and posing of the model is excellent, but you have no other detail underwater, mostly sand. The over section is nothing but blue sky. Typically, you want secondary background subject topside, a beach with trees, or a boat, something. The camera is angled slightly upward, which eliminates any water surface view. The sky is better focused than the underwater. Get the underwater sharp and let the topside go where it wants.

...and a nude girl, hehehe...

Very pleasing to the eye...beautiful colors and very original as well.The only complaint I have is that it should be a bit bigger to better appreciate the shot.

originality comes from her exhaling, letting out the air bubbles...this is a striking image!

I like the whole thing very much. The color is great and the bubbles coming to the surface really add to the overall photo. Well done.

This reminds me another shot here http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=319856

Nice shot, nice idea. A couple of nitpicks. She doesn't look close to sharp and her eyes are closed and her face distorted. I suppose a re-shoot isn't possible? This is so close to being a classic.

I shot several rolls of film with this girl underwater, and all the frames - or at least most of them - are tack sharp. Don't let this really small, low res sample fool you....

I really loved it!!! Very nice! Congratulations!

I just like this photograph! It works well, the colors, the composition, everything!

Please! Post this again but larger. This is a nice shot. We need to be able to see more of it!
