Wow, that's beautiful.
Now doesn't it just piss you off you can't reload? And then when you're on a surface interval (anytime not breathing from a reg) that you have to develop it instead of download it?

Where's the other 35?
Oh, I'm so demanding..............

Chris, can that be my new wallpaper for my monitor?
It's either that or you in that Santa hat.........

I could have shot a lot more BUT a film camera will allow me to shoot all 36 frames as fast as I could advance the film. My S2 ( may it rest in piece ) would only allow between 6 and 8 frames as the Cache would max out and prevent further shooting until the data was written to the card.

processing the film is not the big issue. I hate scanning! more later - maybe!

That's a lovely turtle shot, Chris! But the water... it just looks funny somehow... I can't exactly put my finger on it... but i get the distinct impression that is it... clear? and warm? What's up with that

Just wait till you get here! Not only will you most likely NOT see a sea turtle, you will have to wear a lot more than just your trunks when you dive!!

I really like that one, Chris! Nice color.

Great picture! For a moment, I was diving with you! Until my cat took a swipe at the turtle!

Outstanding shot Chris! Makes a fellow Nikonos Neanderthal proud. When you get to the end of a roll do you ever get tempted to try to stretch the film for just one more shot?
