Robert's Ramblings

Well spring may be here but the water is still as chilly as ever. Give it a month and we will start to see it begin to warm up.

Going through some old photos and found one I'd never published before. I can't tell you much about this photo other than I took it with one of my student's cameras on a recent Advanced Open Water course. I think it was a Canon Exelim (thanks Kirstin) but that's all I have to go on. This gorgeous leafy Seadragon posed beautifully with just enough grass and algae for interest and just enough blue water for the dramatic.

You do not need to spend a lot on an underwater camera to get some stunning photos. This photo, taken with a point-and-shoot camera, demonstrates that being close, composing well (this photo is un-cropped) and taking plenty of photos will result in photos any new underwater photographer can be proud of.

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert
