Best of Mike #35

Underwater, I have always shot with a digital camera.

Which is the same as saying I have always shot with a very smart camera.

It records information that I sometimes don't even know what to do with.

That's how I know that when I took this shot that the strobe did not fire.

As you go deeper in depth, colors disappear from the light spectrum, reds being the first to go and then I believe yellows.

The strobe (flash) provides light comparable to daylight, so when that doesn't happen you often end up with a decidedly blue/green color cast.

Most times that makes for a bad pixture.... that gets deleted.

But every once in awhile, you end up with one that is obviously wrong but still pretty enough to be a keep.

  1. Mike, obviously I don't know much about photography because to me this is such a beautiful picture ... never would have occurred to me that there was something 'wrong' with it. I absolutely love the colors.
