Checked out Flickr. Nice series, great colour and ambiance mate.
Thanks Ken. Yours too ↑↑
Really glad I splashed out on that Samyang.
Cheers

These are 3 bracketed shots combined into 1 HDR using Nik HDR Efex. No further mucking around as their presets make it look right straight away without going over the top.Yeah the colour is superb. Have you played with it much to get that rich vibrance?
Very cool. What did you shoot with? Your DSLR in a housing or something else?Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle
Went diving in Hawaii in October for my first underwater photography experience. Definitely a bit of a learning curve and not as easy as I thought it would be but what a blast seeing and swimming with their Green Sea Turtles.
Thanks AFB. Something else...DSLR housings are insanely expensive and often cost more than the camera body itself. I picked-up an Olympus TG-4 point and shoot underwater camera. Good down to 50 ft with no housing and it shoots RAW. Nice little rig for the purpose.Very cool. What did you shoot with? Your DSLR in a housing or something else?
Looking at you too... but, unfortunately, through a telescope, since I'm on the south coast!
I will try to catch your talk online, and hope it goes really well...
Nice. I bought a rubber lens hood to try something similar but haven't used it as yet. That and take an old lens cloth with you.Getting less and less satisfied with the pics I take at zoos or aquariums when I focus on the animals/marine life. In the case of aquariums this is even more the case as indoor exhibits need to be shot through often dirty glass with significant reflections, of fast moving subjects in low light that require highish shutter speeds and where accurate focus can be a challenge. I keep experimenting with it as I think it is a fun learning exercise, but I've toned down my expectations.
In general, I'm moving more towards capturing the interactions between the people and the exhibits.
Having said that, I took this on a recent trip.
