Great Shots! What kind of camera are you using?

Here's a couple from me. Taken with a crappy, disposable underwater camera, at
the Mayan Riviera. http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/o...g/IMG_4939.jpg http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/o...g/IMG_4944.jpg |
Here is a few of mine from Venezuela. Shot with a canon D10. I will submit the shrimp for the vote. :biggrin:

Oh, I have to play in this category!
....and I'm reminded that I'm now less than 1 year from my trip to the Galapagos... More fun, I need to start shopping for some wet photo equipment. Lemon Shark off Bora Bora. When you light them up, they really are kind of yellow. This one was over 10 feet long and potentially nasty. One of the few times when I've felt a bit uncomfortable... See the little pilot fish in the 2nd photo? http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...res/022_20.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...res/026_24.jpg Manta Ray. Hard to get a good shot because they love the plankton rich (murky) water. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...es/097_16A.jpg A Lobster somewhere in the Caribbean. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/06200016.jpg Pretty... http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/06200020.jpg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/06200006.jpg Impossible to choose, but I'll call this one my official entry. I just like this shot for no particular reason. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/06200015.jpg |
I want to play too but sadly this is my only decent dive picture. I took it while diving the Ogden Point breakwater in Victoria last year with my Canon Powershot. Its a Puget Sound King Crab.

Well i was going to post some of my recent Bahamas pictures but after seeing the competition here I think I'll just save my self the embarrasment. :(

Scott that shrimp shot is incredible...but that brain is enormous! They call that a showpiece coral but you need a fairly sizable tank for it.

Wow too many to choose from. So here are a few. All taken with a nikon D70s in a Fantasea housing and a Nikonos strobe. Most from Utila/Roatan or Mexico.

I want to go diving somewhere warm again after looking back through all of these pictures! Minnewanka only has so much to see! |
Well I can't compete after the previous pics but here's my barracuda from St Maarten. All my friends freaked out and I swam down to take more pics!

Tony, that school of convicts is money! Or balls, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Just got back from Indonesia yesterday and have 3 favorites so far. It's from the Lembeh straight and Bunaken island off North Sulawesi. Pics taken with Panasonic DMC-TS1 with underwater housing. No editing on any pic.

Here are some of my favorites but I'll have to go with the Jellyfish Lake picture just because of the memories of the whole experience.

It looks like one of the villains. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...o/IMG_0760.jpg |

Here's some pics from my dip in Maui. Not sure which pic to pick but I'll go with the first one I guess.Someone can correct me if they think other wise :) If I had time I'd dig out some other diving pictures but I'm squeezing these in at the last minute as I've been off line for awhile. The camera is a Nikon D-80.
