Had only 2 miserly trips in the whole of 2004, but there were some images which i really liked. Chose some for a competition but since i have yet to hear from the organisers, i guessed they weren't good enough. However I would like to share them with fellow wetpixelians, for it is this forum where I learn all about digital underwater photography. I even bought my second hand stuff from these people
Incidentally, these shots were taken on my first and second outing with my Ikelite housed S2 Pro. will be going for my long-awaited third outing next week.
Good pics, I like the 2nd one the best, thanks for sharing!
Nice pics Eric. I really like the close up of the cuttlefish face (I think its #7 in your gallery).
Peace,
David.
This picture of the orangoutang crab on bubble coral with flatworms really works for me. Great textures and interesting composition. It is a good reminder that you don't have to stuff the frame with the subject to create a good image.
Only criticism is that the lighting is too obviously coming from a single strobe at the top.

Tks fellas.
Ponsui: I like the cuttlefish shot too becos of the way the eye stands out.
Alex: Actually I was using dual strobes, but beocs it was my first time using my DSLR + dual strobe setup, I really didn't know what happened to the supposedly even lighting now that u have mentioned it. Btw, nice to see u feature in our local dive mag - Fins.
