[Ron Leversee]

I agree...I really enjoy seeing them in the wild...they are so graceful in the water!!!

 

[Sk8r]

Beautiful!

 

[T Man]

Every time I see one, I can't help but to think of Willem DeFoe:frog:! The more I look at the face, the more I see him!!:lol: They couldn't have picked a better voiceover! Thanks again. T

 

[Ron Leversee]

[Ron Leversee]

Thanks...and so do I!!! I used an Olympus 720 SW... It does take some good pics!!!!

 

[TJ]

Fantastic pics.... love the idols and it's awesome to see schools of yellow tangs in their natural habitat!

 

[Ron Leversee]

Yes...I do like the schools of Yellows for sure....There are lots of big schools of yellows throughout the Hawaiian Islands for sure!!!

 

[David P]

is that off the old airstrip? Looks like garden eel cove or whatever it was called....

 

[Ron Leversee]

Yes....good eye!!! Fun dive for sure....

Hi Ron, nice shots!

Photoshop's auto-level correction works wonders in wild SCUBA/snorkling shots. Figured I'd apply it to a couple of your photos for you. Enjoy!

This one I auto-leveled and got rid of a few blemishes in the shot. (bubbles n' such.)

Cya,
-Who Dah?

 

[Ron Leversee]

Very nice WhoDah... I think I will send you all my underwater pics for you to photoshop!!! Looks great....Thanks!!!

 

[randallcentral]

thx for posting.. those are my fav fish...

 

[Ron Leversee]

You and me both.... I think they are great myself!!!!

 

[ghcpa9]

Ron, do you keep any in your 300? I heard they're tough to keep.

 

[Ron Leversee]

No... They are hard to keep...and I just can't bring myself to take them out of there natural home with a very high chance of them not making it in my system!!! So I just take pics of them and watch them when I dive!!!
