Drifting silently

Having done a decent amount of underwater photography myself, (with my Nikonos, not digital) I know how difficult this shot was to make and you did a terrific job at it. Trying to maintain neutral bouyancy and get the right composition at the same time is never an easy thing to do, especially around reefs where there are often weird and inconsistent currents.

I would, however, have liked to have seen the jellyfish further up in the negative space in the corner. I moved it in PS, what do you think?

By the way, that reminds me, my aluminum 100's hydro has expired, better get it to the dive shop!

thx for your work. I've had the same idea, too. But for me that was a little bit too much of 'manipulation'. I usually take the pics as they come, cropping or slightly adjustments are reasonable for me. o.k. I think I am a 'photographing diver' not a 'diving photographer' ...

Nevertheless a nice suggestion and a good realization - greets Fr@nk

I am the same way, I take photos while diving, not go diving to take photos. I didn't even get wet this past summer either, too much else competing for my time.

The Army Corps of Engineers sunk USS Oriskany off our coast a few years ago and I have still not been down to see it. The keel is very deep, but the deck is not too bad, around 120'. The bridge is around 80' which makes for a longer dive than the deck. I am hoping the inverts have gotten a good foot hold by this summer so I can dive it and take some photos.

that look great, also with the colours in background look very well. Well done..!
