Mark Elshout
Beautiful shot. You managed to counteract the water colouration beautifully to get him back to his beautiful bright self. Incredible image!
Mark Elshout
I see you have thrown some money into putting your D300 into an underwater housing. I am relatively new to diving and wasn’t willing to commit $3000 to a housing so I opted for the Canon G10 ( a big move considering I am a Nikon person through and through. Love diving photography!
Karen Willshaw replied
Yes… sometimes I think way too much!!! I used to have a little Fuji F810 – loved that camera for underwater photography, however my arms aren’t long enough these days to see a screen underwater, hence my change to using the D300 underwater. Much Better!!! I can see macro stuff :)
