La Jolla Cove (underwater)

These pics were taken from two free diving trips to La Jolla Cove.  The visibility as about 10 feet with cloudy skies.  They weren't perfect conditions but there was still plenty to be seen.  
I'm still experimenting with exposures with my Cannon G12.  These pics were f5.6-6.2 at 1/125 and the single strobe set to full power.

Belize Underwater (Scuba Diving)

I went scuba diving off the coast of Caye Caulker, Belize. I got certified as a PADI underwater photographer which was a lot of fun.  These shots were taken from 2 dives, I used a Canon G12, with a Ikelite housing and D50 strobe.

Underwater Photography

This summer I have decided to try my luck at underwater photography.  My wife and I are heading to Belize on a "babymoon" and I will be doing some diving.  I am currently doing the PADI online underwater photography course and when I get to Belize I will complete the course by doing a few underwater photo dives.  So far I have practiced a few times in a pool and today I went to Paradise Cove in Malibu.  Unfortunately the viz was very poor, no more than 5 feet. But at least I got some practice in shooting kelp.  Below are the pictures from today.

My set up:
Canon G12
Ikelite Houseing
Ikelite DS 51 Strobe
Dyron 67mm Macro Lens

Solar Eclipse 5-20-12 from Los Angeles


On Saturday I went to Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook and photographed the solar eclipse. I was shooting with a ND and a Polarizer since I didn't have a solar filter.  I hope I didn't do too much damage to my sensor! 

I shot this with a 135mm lens.
