Thanks for the Fav's. All the underwater shots were taken with a nikonos V that I purchased on e-bay, I got the whole set up with 15mm & 20mm lenses dual SSB105 strobes and a pelican hard case for about $1,000.00 I have a nikon D200, I want to house but a good housing costs about $2500, I would need wide angle lenses and new strobes about $5,000. So I too cannot yet afford a housing setup. But good old film Nikons still gets quality shots Actually as good as the best digital setups, it's just cumbersome, and you can only get 36 shots per dive. But when you get that right capture I think the nikonos quality is very good especially with the 15mm lens. This lens sold for over $1200, just a few years ago. So you can get in to underwater like I did for not so much money.
Regards

Hello there !
I've sent you a note about gallery problem

Thanks, I jut posted it again, I thought it didn't load. Hey, your art "Scene from my dream" I think your a genius. Let me ask you a question. How do you create such a beautiful piece of art on Photoshop? I use it a bit to touch up a pic here & there but to create something from nothing, you have a gift. I use the clone, healing tool, brightness & contrast controls and re-sizing, that's about all I can do. Do you start with a photo, or do you see the image in your mind and just go from there? Wow I printed that one ( I hope you don't mind) and I am framing it will go on the wall!

Thank you for the kind words. I just looked at your photos, and BUTTERFLIES! Yes, I love 'em. I took all mine in my back yard. But I hear there is a butterfly World in Boca I think? Would that be chaeting?
Regards,
Mike

lol, You refer to Butterfly World in Pompano Beach, just south of Boca. I have been told its not cheating as the little guys are still hard to get. Wouldn't get to see alot of these species without such places. However, most of my pictures were taken at the Butterfly Rainforest at the University of Florida
