Selection of underwater photos




Please have a look at my on-line gallery presenting a selection of stock photos from seas and oceans, underwater or above surface: marine & sea life, divers, bubbles, shipwrecks, concepts. (hit this)


Beyond my passion, underwater photography became one of my specialties and more recently with the Nikon D7000 (in an Aquatica housing)  I'm experiencing underwater video.


I must admit that having in one housing the opportunity of shooting both footage or stills, depending on the mood and the subject, is a great opening for the creation of new underwater images!

Of course this assumes adequate lighting, so continuous video. I opted for the Fa&mi halogen headlights because its warmer than the LED. Disadvantage: need of strong batteries (the slim9 is a 9amh for 4kgs), which overload my luggages. Indeed, the weight on land of the complete system is over 10 kgs!

I also have to change the strobes. I'll soon replace my old but trustful Nikon SB-800 housed iinside a heavy SEACAM (2-3 kgs!) with the very light Inon Z-240 (69 grams undersea!)
So enjoy my stills gathered throughout the world in15 years of diving!
As you might have noticed, video clips are coming soon!
