Roatan, May/June 2011

Hello there,

I feel like I'm really taking some sort of a chance here, this being my first post to show off photos I've taken. I do feel like I am evolving in my photography; while I generally like the results I get I do also see room for improvement. But hey, that's what the *next* dive trip is for, right?

Anyhow, I've included a few shots here, plus a link to my Flickr gallery if you'd like to see more. Please enjoy, and if you have any tips or constructive criticism (I do know I need to widen my depth of field and darken my backgrounds on some of this macro stuff!) I would love to hear them.

Thanks,

Gina

Fantastic!!! Cocoview?

Thank you. And yes, CoCo View - I haven't heard of another place on Roatan that allows you as much diving freedom as they do.

I love that place, going for my ninth trip this winter.

Excellent, and your next one will be free!

Great shots Gina. Nice garden eels, and the toby's are cute.

What camera gear are you using?

Thank you, Don. I'm using a Canon 5DMkII in an Aquatica housing, dual Sea & Sea YS110a strobes, and a Canon 100mm macro lens. I also use a Canon 15mm fisheye and 16-35 lens, depending what I'm shooting.

It's just been in this last year that I've gotten serious about UW photography, and happily I've watched my photos go from snapshots to something a little better. Now I'm just working towards getting them to be Good, so with that in mind, I always like to hear suggestions for improvement.

Nice shooting Gina!

I am in your boat, been shooting video underwater for a few years now, but just shifting to the DSLR world now... and LOVE it!! =)

Roatan brings back some good memories.. I worked there at Las Rocas resort for almost a year... good times. =)

Keep snapping happy, look forward to seeing some more up here..

Cheers
