You travel so much Sylvia, do you ever do any snorkeling when you're in the tropics? The fish are really fun to watch.

As always, thanks for the visit and comments.

Have snorkelled in the South China Sea that is all. I am amazed how the fish come very close to the surface of the water and nibble you!!

Here are a few of the shots I got both above and in the water while in Hawaii. The in water shots were taken with the new Olympus which is designed for all kinds of abuse.

Shooting under water was a learning experience since I couldn't really see what I was getting until much later. It was a matter of aiming and hoping, but I got enough "keepers" to make it fun.

Wonderful series. It looks like the Olympus worked for you and that you have considerable experience underwater.


Your visit and kind comments are greatly appreciated Steve. The Olympus was fun, but I certainly have no experience shooting under water. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long before the next attempt.

I bet that was a really special experience. I certainly didn't have any nibbles. All of the fish we saw were busy picking through the coral.

Great series Vicki. Beautiful colors. When I was still diving every summer I found photography quite a daunting task. Nicely done.

It has taken me awhile to get back to my posts after losing my main computer to a major crash.

I appreciate your comment Doc. Shooting under water presents other challenges not the least of which is just trying to see through the mask well enough to aim the camera.
