Green water and Blue water 1 week apart

5 posts
  1. Hi Guys

     

    i thought i would post some pics taken today and a week ago to demonstrate how much our conditions can change in a week .

    first shots taken today , we had about 150mm! of rain in 2days and lots of tanin laden water runoff..

    we had a 2-3m layer of tanin water at the surface which blocks out so much light

     

    pics taken at Jervis Bay , the outer tubes in 18m water , 18c . coolpix P5000 in Ike housing , inon strobes and inon uwl100 and dome attachment. 1/60th sec f3.8.

     

    comments welcome

     

    regards

    Matt

    but seriously, it makes it really hard to shoot & learn because it is a complete lucky dip ;)

     

    mine are taken with a d200 & 10.5mm Nikkor, btw

     

     

    cheers

  3. well Matty, looks like we left 'em speechless :wacko::):(

  4. Guys,

     

    A very nice comparison, but give me blue water any day of the week, especially with those lovely sponge gardens in JB.

  5. cheer Nigel, I am kinda fond of the blue myself, but conditions down here have been oh so fickle! No stable summer conditions - when we usually get warm blue calm seas ;)
