You have a JOB as an underwater photographer?!?! Awesome! Who do you work for?
Nice shot, btw. I like that you didn't blur out all the surrounding environment.

So, your main duty is to photograph the tourists frolicking with the dolphins?

pic of the day. very nice. would love to see a more even background but I'm hairsplitting...

Thanks...not sure what you mean by even background.

Lav1908 In reply to manaphoto [2010-06-07 21:21:24 +0000 UTC]
well the background doesn't serve much purpose in this photo(other than to frame the turtle), the main subject is the turtle so it would be better if the background was really plain like the blue of the sea, without the sand and the fishes... i know it was hard getting any angle on the turtle and you didn't have time to check out the background but i hate taking a great photo and then having to settle for a stupid background which i could have easily avoided while shooting.

Thanks, I understand exactly what you are saying. I look forward to everyday I get in the water to shoot, because you never know what is in store.

no, it needs to be in a water tight housing.
