Stoney Splash-in Shots

[DeanB]

Some lovely shots from my second home... I was there Friday and heard the comp was the next day.. I thought there would be some great Pike pics...as they were courting like mad !!! I could have told you exactly where to go but as their my subjects I didn't want a group of namby pamby stills shooters spoiling there once a year pleasure cycle..ha,ha... I think its defo the wrong time of year for the comp as early Autumn is the best for viz and the topography in stoney looks magical in places... Also the pike are fragile enough during spawning without loads of disturbance...

Anyway well done all

Dive safe

I don't know why Cussy thinks my camera would make a difference, his images are better than mine (I would post, but I'm stuck in an operating theatre and my images are at home), and t'other Tim's aren't bad.

I tried a greenwater magic on a fisheye around the Viscount, and I found a solitary crayfish beneath the pub for my 60mm. I also found some very murky fish, but the pike had gone off to sulk (like my son who had been bribed to come along as a model: he surfaced without me after an ill-considered visit to the Stanegarth and no useful shots at all).

Tim is looking for any old excuse to house his impulse bought D200, I'm just acting as the Digigreener on his shoulder that whispers things in his ear like "buy it, but it, buy it!"

PS Martin Davies's photos were really good off of the camera, mine took a lot of Lightroom

Tim P, the underwater images, you`ve posted were they all taken using the green water filter?

Not the wildlife, only the diver images.

Tim,
The second crayfish shot is stunning.

Yeah, Alex quite liked it. Guess what? It's entered for next month's EMUP competition!

I was amazed that my half-baked idea about depth-of-field actually worked...

Well guys, given the conditions, I don't think that the results are that bad at all.

Whilst that Martin chap had some very very nice photos, I think some of these would be potential winners - especially that crayfish shot Tim. As Rob said it's v. good - I assume you did enter it into the splash-in comp?

Of course, but the intensity of the colour and contrast is a bit better in the CS2'd version. I suspect that I haven't got the strobe set-up quite right for "out of the camera" images.
