My first images from Utila - Honduras

Hello all!

After a lot of anticipating, I am finally in the island of Utila for 3 months of diving and shooting.

These are pictures from my second dive with my outfit and I'm still learning!

Many thanks to everybody at wetpixel for helping me and sharing their knowledge.

Please feel free to comment on the images.

May the visibility be good to all,

Yorgos

Hi Yorgos

you have some nice shots: I quite liked the flamingo tongue and the firecoral with brittle stars

you are on Utila right now ? could you try to make a few shots of snapping shrimps ALPHEIDAE ? I am revising the Caribbean species right now - there are more than 100 ! and I tell you: there are really not many colour pictures from the Caribbean (cf. new reef creature id guide by Humann & Deloach)

cheers

Hello Art!

Thanks for the positive comment!

There is a lot or room for improvement as I only have 4 dives so far with the camera.

Yes, I am in utila now and i'll stay here for a couple of months so I will definately have my eyes (and lenses) open for snapping shrimps.

Would you like to give me you email so i could send you the images directly?

Cheers

Nice start Yorgos.....I like the depth in the fire coral and brittle star shot............after 3 months of diving you will be a pro!..........which lens do you like the most so far?

Hello Karl!

You and all the other photographers at wetpixel have been a great inspiration. Your words are much appreciated, specialy coming from someone like you. Hey, i'm good in kissing arse!

So far i've only used the 15-30mm and the 60mm. Very different views but i like macro. Small size matters! I'm really looking forward to use my 105mm maybe with a diopter too.

Cheers

I hate to nag...

But if you are attaching images and not hosting from your own gallery, can you try to post only a few images per thread? We're not (currently) in the business of hosting entire galleries! A single refresh of this thread as it currently exists sucks away approximately 600KB of bandwidth!

Otherwise, I may have to restrict the system to only allow one attachment per post, like on the old board.

Again -- sorry to nag. I just have to push back a little bit every once in awhile.

Yup, i get your point eric....

I just got attach happy. They're my first images and as a newbe i got carried away.

The plan is to built a little gallery and i can post as much as i want!

Thanks and keep up the good work.
