You can check out the photo gallery:

If you see something that you like, you can contact the photographer to see if it's available in a higher resolution.

Contact Norm on this forum I think his are some of the best I've seen. Or Chip and his friend Ray Eccleston? They do nice work too.

Michael Angelo does some very nice stuff. www.michael-angelo-art.com

I agree, Norm takes excellent pictures: http://www.pbase.com/eanx/diving&page=all

He uses a 5 MP camera. I can't even keep track of all the U/W Photo classes that he takes.

Ray Eccleston takes nice pictures and he uses a C5050Z with an Ike housing, just like Norm. I posted some of Ray's pictures in the photo gallery.

TJ also takes nice pictures. He uses the same camera outfit that I use, but our cameras are only 3.3 MP for the underwater stuff. I use a 6.3 MP camera for my land pictures. Most of our pictures are in the gallery.

I have seen a lot of other excellent pictures, taken by other Forum members, and most of these are in the gallery.

Norm does a good job. I've got to admit when he loaned me his strobe and we both were taking photo's with the same camera setup he had a lot higher percentage of good shots. I think taking the classes helps and the time he spends with it helps.

There also a very good photographer in our group no one has talked about and thats Cindy Butler. Try her web site. http://www.cavephoto.com/

Only THREE UW courses in 25 years, but SIX Digital Software courses in 48 WEEKS! The trick to get a high kill-ratio is a) in post-Process, and more importantly, b) shoot OFTEN and a LOT on each Dive...

Do NOT fret over your megaPixel count! Good 8x10's CAN be gotten from 3 meg or less IF the original file is close to flawless...What most of y'all non-photogs never see is the hideous leavin's (the Recycle Bin) after our shoots...

I boast of a fair average kill-ratio (often 40-50%), but my "leave it JUST the way it is" count is <5%... :>))

If anybody wants the 15 minute flower-talk on digital post-processing at the CDS workshop, lemme know; I'll have the Laptop there...bring some of your own stuff un-souped on a floppy or CD, and I can show how easily you can impress yourself! <g>

You can not become "instantly" a good UW shooter any more than one becomes a "veteran" Cave Diver just by getting their Full Cave cert. At least the failures in photography are "deleted" and not recovered...

HEY CINDY!

Your lighting is AWESOME! What are the details of your rig?
