Hi. I would really like to see what others are doing all over the US underwater (and the world). I am using an Olympus OMD E-1 with a variety of lenses, two DS-2 sea and sea strobes, a nauticam housing and I dive Oregon, Washington, California, and Canada the most with a little warmwater here and there. I would love to see YOUR pictures. Here's my weekly shot. This just won the Ocean Art 2015 contest for mirrorless wide angle. This was done with an 8mm Pany fisheye and ambient light. I'm going to the Red Sea in 30 days so if you have been there and have suggestions let me know!

Beautiful colors and thank you for sharing! Is it possible to shoot straight up capturing an upside-down of what we usually see? S-

Oh yes, and this technique steals the show if you can do it right. It's a lot of trial and error. I often invert myself to take pictures, if you have good bouyancy you can be upside down and get great shots of things in holes, underneath ledges, etc.

I have nothing from underneath the water, except shot at an aquarium :) Any user's topics you wish to view, just click on their user name. You'll see I post pretty regularly - lol.

I'm sure your topside stuff is great 😀 I shoot topside too... I should have clarified my statement by saying it's more fun when we look at UNDERWATER shots... !!!!! Underwater tends to be a whole different card game with its own rules and tricks....
