Happy Diving & Keep Those Cameras Rolling!

WOW! That pic is awesome.....one of the first things that intrested me in the ocean was photography. Through the old Cousteau books which, I still have a complete set of.

It wasnt until I started diving and the owner of my LDS let me use his Video Camera on a dive, that I developed a respect for whats involved with photography and videography. Great detail.....what was used to "capture the moment"?

What are those "Crop Circles" where the claw connects to the body? Is that the result of Photoshopping to remove some pictorial deformity's?

Regardless, outstanding job! I hope to match that someday. For now - my next obstacle is a drysuit.

Looks like his name on the picture. Its a big version of the one in the top right of the pic.

Yeah, I picked up on that as well and I figured that if he wasnt the original creator of the pic, he would have "photoshopped" that out as well.........

Mikswi & Partridge! Yup! It's my name, Ed (my trademark)! It has been rotated & if you look closely, it looks like a diver's mask & reg!

By the way, thanks for all the nice compliments! CJames & Bella! Thanks for sharing yours!

Happy Diving & Keep Those Bubbles Flowing!
