New Website - Please take a look!

Hello

I have just finished the preliminary version of my new website. It has been a labor of love and I had to learn as I went - but I am pleased with the finished product. It has my underwater stuff as well as some topside shots, and I will be adding more as I go...

Please take a look and tell me what you think! It may be slow to load if you have dial-up....

Thanks!

Nicely done. It is an attractive site, easy to navigate as well.

Very nice and well organized. How was your experience using Gallery?

Sieg

Hi Christa, you have put together a very nice webpage. I enjoyed checking out your galleries.

Your photography is also very well done and I'm curious about the lighting on most if not all your shots....are you using filters in lieu of strobes?

I was also surprised to see the crocodile in your Cozumel gallery....where did you see that?....we're going back next week a would want to check it out

Two thumbs up

Karl

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to look and give me your opinions.

To Sieg: I love Gallery - there were a few growing pains getting it set up and customized, but when it's all said and done it is a great program, and the best one out there that I have seen.

To Karl: I use filters and strobes. Just depends on the ambient light and the subject. I am still learning, so I do alot of "experiments". I have a red filter for my ikelite housing, and I have double DS-125 strobes. I take several shots of a subject (if the current isn't too bad) using different combinations. Having digital is great because I can immediately see what works and what doesn't.

I'm not a purist when it comes to underwater photography. I am an artist, so I tend to look for artistic shots that appeal to me personally, and I like dramatic images. They don't always turn out 100%, but I enjoy the finished product anyway.

The crocodile was a neat find! He was hanging out right behind the Hotel Cozumel in about 12 feet of water. The dive shop was very surprised when I told them, they said they rarely see them in Cozumel, but they are all over the mainland. The silly snorkelers started harrassing him when he surfaced, so he took off at that point. We didn't see him again....
