this looks like a bay in Zanti is it? but all these pics make me want to go back there

Same here. Everyone had told me Sweden was so expensive! But it's cheaper than the UK for instance, and not that much more expensive than Spain after all. Some things were even cheaper: ice creams, some food...

This picture is fabulous, Neil. I love it!!

Since the rest of you have put up so many nice pictures I'll have a try..

It's a bit different from the pics posted so far I guess.. :)

Some misc pics (thumbnails):

I've been there! :D

Lefkada! :D

Here's the same one bigger, a couple of times (stood in different places and/or different exposures)

Do you have an underwater cam / case for you camera? I'm asking because I'm looking into buying an underwater case for my Canon S1 IS, but it's so expensive :(...

Nice pic btw ;)

Yes I have. You can buy mine if I'd like.. I'm buying a new one.

Yes, they are very expensive. But for sure, it's worth it. Diving is soo much more fun when you can share it with people who don’t dive! :D

Yes, it's a nice stonefish. Rather hard to spot..

Got quite a few panoramic shots today, I had to do a couple manually so the joins are more noticeable on those, but mostly they turned out pretty well

These first 4 are in Liverpool this morning

you have a S1 IS as well? Although I'm sort of hoping that I might get a case with my birthday in a few weeks - it was on top of my list after all :D.

Yeah I know! It just doesn't do the trick when you try to explain a non-diver what it's like underwater just with words ;). I have used underwater throw away camera's with snorkeling, but they don't work on a proper dive... And the quality is obviously useless ;).

Thanks for those larger ones, Neil. They're stunning.

Another few batches from me:

1/4

These were taken with my old camera, which was (and is) my parents':

All four from Barcelona, Dec. 2004:

No I actually don't... :(
I have a nikon coolpix 5400 with a Ikelite housing. And two DS-50 substrobes. But you can have the whole thing if I'd like!! :D

It's all right, but I want an camera with TTL Substrobes such as a D70 or something.

It is very hard shooting underwater, not as easy as on the surface. You often only get one shot and then the camera setting has to be right otherwise the picture will turn out bad.

Yes it’s really nice showing other people the underwater world, but still there are some underwater scenes that are very hard to transform into an photo such as swimming over a coral garden, drift dives, all the life, the peace of just listening to your own breath (this one is rather obvious :D) and so on.

I've been shooting underwater for 2 years now, actually, my interest in diving grew when I started shooting. I strongly recommend it! And it's a perfect memory...

Still Barcelona Dec. 2004 with my old camera:

I can't believe I forgot to post this one yesterday, since it's one of my all-time favourites. It was taken last August in Barcelona:

I love chestnuts. Autumn 2005:

Autumn 2005 in Madrid. Got weird faces from people while taking this one, but I like the result:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/PA310028.jpg

yeah I suppose the lights underwater are very hard to capture... I never really did any underwater shooting, so I'd need a lot of practice. But I'm not diving too often so I guess just a underwater case as addon on the camera will do for now ;). I could always think about substrobes and fancy accessories when I'm really into underwater photography ;).

nothing beats the real thing, huh ;)

To me it looks really nice and i wanna go :)

Don't forget Jess !!!!! :D

Hehe i wont :D

How could ANYONE forget Jess? :D ;)

I'm jealous, it seems like everyone's got nice pics to show but not me. The only "professionnal" photos i've got are of me :o

I want to go to Italy next summer ... any pictures ?

you should show those pics then Jess Pleeeease

Russ has promised me, he is sending me a cheque to buy that new 39 Mega-Pixel digital camera. Its only £20,000. Seriously! :eek: Then I will post some cool pictures of my own!

:eek: i did? ummm you might have to wait lol

Lol, no !! not in the middle of all those beautiful pictures :)




Oh that's strange Kev, he told me the same thing !!!

I'm not prepared to wait too long. I hope you dont break your promises! :p

Russ promises a lot of things. I thought he was paying to fly you over to london for the Wembley shows as well? ;) :P
