Dive Photos - Grand Turk, St. Maarten

[untamed]

Yes, you are correct. Most of the bright colours are sponges. It's made me consider that I would like to keep more sponges than I have in the past.

The camera is a Motormarine SeaNSea, with the strobe attachment. Yup, still shooting film.

You know, I can't think of a better application for digital photography than underwater photography...yet, there doesn't seem to be anyone addressing this application since Nikon gave up on the Nikonos.

I have a sealife (actually Pioneer with their name on it) and it's digital but it's too slow, both in the reaction time from when I press the button as well as between shots. The megapixels are too small as well and no macro setting, it's about 5-6 years old, I think. Anyawy it unfortunately couldn't take the pressure at 140 ft down at the "Blue Hole" in Belize and now only works sometimes. The case is waterproof for 200 ft but the camera apparently wasn't built to handle that depth, go figure. I was just asking because I need to get a new dive camera one of these days and you took some great pictures with yours.
I think I need to get an external strobe as well, my old one only had a regular flash, so only about 1/10 pictures were ever any good (my avitar is a good one for example athough a bit on the blue side).
Thanks,
