UNDER THE SEA

I had a great time visit my Dad and friends for Father’s Day on Sunday. I finally got a chance to use the underwater housing for my CanonG9. It definitely takes a bit to get used to the variables of underwater photography, but after I got used to what the housing and environment could and could not provide, I began to focus and make some interesting images. These two are of my little brother Zach playing in the pool. The first was a playful color image of him making a funny face. I dig the rainbow aberrations and distortion the water and sunlight created. The second is my favorite, by far, of the take. I don’t think Zach even knew I was snapping it. The black and white adds a level of drama and mystery that I am a fan of. Its abstract and eerie and everything I could have hoped for out of a $450 camera. Look for more underwater adventures as our temps climb close to 100 degrees + soon.
