This section is a work in progress and represents a collection of trips to
the Caribbean with an emphasis on underwater photography.
My first exposure to underwater photography was during a snorkelling trip
in Barbados. I bought an inexpensive housing for my
digital camera and was amazed at the results. Canon seems to provide the highest
level of support for point and shoot digital underwater photography. I used a
Digital ELPH for the turtle pictures. The sharks photographs where shot using a
PowerShot. I recommend them both, although I have a strong bias in favour of
digital cameras that shoot raw in format.
Of all the Caribbean destinations
I have been able to visit, I like Barbados the best. It has its manicured
tourist areas, but the undeveloped Atlantic beaches are awesome with their
pounding surf and windswept beaches. A wonderful escape and an opportunity for
unexpected photographs.
The South Caribbean pictures were taken during a cruise I took with my son in March of 2005.
I have always resisted taking cruises. I guess I was afraid they were really
just a floating bus trip. Boy was I wrong!
The Turks and Caicos pictures were taken in January of 2006 and focus on
underwater subjects. Now there is a photographer's dream. Lots of colour mixed
with adventure. I plan on shooting underwater whenever I can.
If you have time try the Adobe Atmosphere Galleries. Adobe has
discontinued support for this form of web presentation, but I think it is a
splendid way to present photographs. I will continue to post them as long as
drivers remain available.
Please come back soon for the complete narrative. Till then, the gallery is open and
there is lots to see.
