Diving Beyond Colour

We were deep, very deep, perhaps 35 metres down or more. A brooding grey sky above meant that very little light had made its way to us here. Colour had been left behind, languishing in the surface shallows.

To say there was no colour at all wouldn’t be quite true. All around us was a deep, dark, monochromatic green. I was tempted to call the photo ‘Green Day’. That green is what my camera managed to capture at a technically stretched ISO 12,800, but to my eyes, there was no colour at all.

So, in the end, I chose to share the image in black and white. Because down there, in that quiet depth, we were truly diving beyond colour.
