Divers at Jolanda Reef

Taken with Ektachrome 100 using a ReefMaster RC, depth about 23

meters, at Ras Mohammed National Park, on the southern tip of the

Sinai, Egypt. I know there are technical issues with this photo.

Thoughts or comments?

I'm mainly bother by the fact that I can't tell what in the world I'm looking at in the foreground. Some sort of debris? This is one of those near-far shots, and the near part of one of these desperately needs to be interesting.

I'm not very familiar with Sealife but it seems like you have a 35mm or longer lens. It is very difficult to do near-far type pictures with that. This is often called close focus wide angle (CFWA) and you really need a wide angle lens as the name implies. Unfortunately one is very much limited by gear in underwater photography.

This looks like the wreck of the Yolanda.

You need a wide-angle or fisheye lens to pull this

off. 16mm, etc.

I like the colors in the background. You want to

make sure the strobe doesn't strike the foreground white toilets.

 

Have fun.
