Post a recent underwater portrait of yourself!

Don't you hate it when you cant shake them..

Is there an UW photographer that DOESN'T take self portraits?

Not really recent. I was still shooting with the Olympus 5050.

Only have self portraits so here are my favs:

Great shots, Gary -- it's quite a feat getting BOTH "models" in a self-portrait to cooperate that well!

Great thread. Funny pictures. Here is my contribution - aiming to lower both the average photographic quality and good looks of the subject.

Here is one of me (self portrait):

And here is one that my girlfriend took of me - while she was modelling - I was zooming that Tokina:

And here is one she took of me modelling!

www.divernet.com is awash with underwater pictures of me (every time I write about a regulator) and everyone must be bored with seeing my hairy face, so lowering the standard just a little, here's a different picture from that site. It illustrates a piece about travelling light. Sorry, it's not underwater!

That's gonna take some topping.

The puzzled look will be familiar to a few perhaps; "has that bloody zoom ring disengaged again?"

That's gonna take some topping.

Indeed!

OTOH, if we MUST see scantily clad topside photos, I personally prefer a slightly different type...

Not so impressive as John's portrait

Don't I look like an angel with that halo?

In keeping with John's theme, "Portrait Of/From Rear", here's one of me at recent Shark Shootout.

and from my perspective, a moment earlier:

Ok, I know baggage restrictions are getting tough, but seriously, next time bring less camera gear. Also, I really hope I never get the seat next to you on the plane. Or the seat you were sitting in.

Fun thread - nice to see all you pros still goof around. Took my (so far) only self portrait on my first-ever quarry test dive with my camera. Here's that fine effort (complete with puffy hair and Popeye forearms):

First outing with a DSLR, when I was working out how to manually set the strobe.

Luisa and I by Enrique Faber: (I am trying to find a selfportrait with some triggerfish "very interested" in me )

Strong Aura that one that I have....

Shot by my wife while in the warm Malaysian waters. I'm only wearing a rash shirt! Now I'm looking forward to New Years off Vancouver Island.

Shot by my friend Rui Guerra while in the cold Atlantic Portuguese waters...

just waiting, fixed in the jonline, in midwater for the pelagic to came

The above is a bit of a stretch: "Let's see underwater portraits of all of us with cameras!"

OK, my feet were underwater! But the camera was mostly underwater.

This is a self-portrait using a Seacam remote release, see it in my hand in this blow-up from another shot:

So I was with the camera. B)
