Whoops, my last set had just a common featherduster and not a pink feather duster as described. Here is what I had hoped to send, with a couple of other photos.
Pink Featherduster in Grand Cayman
Scorpionfish in St. Croix
Yellow Tube Sponge

Thanks. I enjoy doing it, and it keeps me sane! Too bad I have to go so far to go diving. Indiana doesn't offer any rich dive sites.

Allen,
Beautiful shots, really nice colors, what camera are you using and whose strobes?

Thanks, George. I have been using an Olympus C3040Z which is nice because it has an f1.8 lens. The strobe I was using is one that went south about two years ago, so now I am trying a Nikon camera with an Ikelite strobe. I tried it last year in Antigua and was not real happy with results. Will try again in about five weeks in Jamaica and see how it does. I may take both cameras and housings to see if it the camera, strobe, or just the dives. The pics last year seemed to be washed out, so I am going to have to figure out a few things.

Allen,
If the cameras can shoot in RAW do so, that will help you with post, I would also try to shoot just a tad underexposed.

Thanks George. I don't think either will shoot in RAW, but I should be able to underexpose. I may try to also diminish the amount of light that is used on the strobe. That may help as well. Allen

I agree with George. Shooting a stop or even two underexposed has done wonders for my U/W photos. You can always lighten a bit in PP, but once overexposed, you're cooked.

Kevin,
After a while most people begin to realize what to do with the cameras they use. Lets hope that we can help all those that decide to try their hand at underwater photography.

A friend of mine keeps saying to go to Grand Cayman and we haven't done it yet. I think we may if for nothing else but to see the feather dusters. Someone else had pictures of them from Grand Cayman. Great Shots of everything.

Mom,
Grand Cayman is great, you could do a lot of snorkling on the east end, and also on many of the reefs. Lots of areas to snorkel on the Caymans, and there is also Stingray City.

My friend went to stingray city. They had a ball. He sent pictures and they were amazing. That's something I'd like to see and I think they stayed on the east end right behind the reef. I think that will be my next destination after I get this grandchild here. I'm supposed to go to Alaska in Sept. but I have GOT to go snorkeling. I'm having sea withdrawals. :D
