Aaron, if its your first time diving that's amazing to take such images!! It took me 2-3 videos before I figured out how to shoot stable like that underwater!

What did you shoot with?

Thanks. Yep first time, I'd not been swimming for 10 years at least. I want to do it again definitely. I'll do a course and get certified here in the UK beforehand. I used a Panasonic Lumix, £200 and goes down to 40 feet.

Great pics!!! Did you make it to St. Thomas at all? We've got some pretty great spots and see LOTS of turtles here too. Two things... first have you thought about editing your photos in post production software?? I did one for you, hope you don't mind, this is a GREAT pic!



Second what are the setting you used for the stormy and baja sunset pics? Love that HDR look. Was it just in auto mode? Thanks, great pics.

We didn't go to St Thomas, was so much to do we barely fitted it all in. I use Lightroom, Photoshop and Aperture for any pics on my DSLR as they're shot in RAW. With the amount of underwater pics I took I couldn't sit in front of a computer and go through the lot, my attention span is too short and I find it tedious at times. The sunset picture was done in manual, I don't use auto on my DSLR anymore.
