working with an underwater photog FINALLY

[AniaR]

So, underwater photographers are pretty rare when I am. yes, some photogs can adapt to underwater, but there are so few actually really involved in shooting underwater. In my province in my part of Canada there is a LOT of algae in the lakes so they're very very green, and the ocean is freezing. Anyway when I did world ocean's day, a photographer approached me and I was blown away with his work. Some of it is old and done with film (which blows my mind) but the fact he was able to capture our merky water and get amazing shots... I just had to share some!!!

Im more afraid of these buggers than sharks, there's nothing here to eat these guys so they get huge and aggressive. One chased me in my tail, and I've been bitten before.

true story, I was also bit by one of these. It left two fang marks in my legs, but my feet were so numb from the cold water I didnt notice til it swam away and I walked out. They are kinda scary

Creepy doll head is creepy!

I also hate snapping turtles. We had one climb out of the creek and up to our back steps one day! Luckily, I saw him before I let my little dogs out.

Woo, congratulations! I'm excited to see what photos you get out of it.

[Spindrift]

Beautiful! How do the pages stay intact? I guess with little disturbance?

I ran into mine accidentally, I live in the tropics with loads of beautiful reefs and its almost impossible to find underwater photographers. Soooo weird.

Those pictures look fabulous! I can't wait to see how yours will turn out!
