Florida Keys - underwater

I had such an awesome time on my trip to the Florida Keys in July - couldn't have met better people. The diving was warm and there was a lot of growth on the reefs. There were quite a few fish etc, but it's not as active as the Ningaloo Reef. Still very nice, though.

I only did three dives on the weekend as mostly I spent it schmoozing instead I also had to shoot a system I'd never even touched before and of course I put it all together about 15 minutes before I walked out the door. It worked out alright bar a few little annoying problems, like one strobe not firing all the time, as I wasn't there to concentrate on shooting anyway, just to take happy snaps. I shot a Nikon D200 with the Tokina 10-17 lens. Subal housing, Inon strobes.

Looks like you had good vis there Kristin.

1 and 4 are my favs with the great blue surface as your backdrop.

Did you see the recent Nat Geo mag which had about 8 pages on your babies, the Nudibranchs by David Doubilet. Looked like he took a light box with him to studio shoot the little guys in situ.

nice!
