Underwater Photography?

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 20 November 2006 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Well...not quite. A few weeks ago I went to the PhotoPlus Expo in New York. It was a very interesting event. I saw lots of interesting things there and my wish list is now beyond comprehension. I really was most interested in the Epson Pro 3800 Printer, but I also think I found my next lens...but shhhh...don't tell my husband.

Near the entrance to the Expo floor was this display which drew the attention of many of the attendees. I thought it was pretty cool so I tried to get a turn at shooting it which was a little difficult since there were a gazillion photogs there trying to do the same thing...go figure. At any rate it was a clever display and had all sorts of optical devices including binoculars, cameras, etc. The toughest part of this shot was trying to find a perspective that didn't distort too much since it was a cylindrical tank. I also had to find a spot that wasn't too smudged with fingerprints.

I thought the fish facing me was funny he/she looked like he was laughing at us. They didn't stay in one spot very long either.

***News Flash***

There is a new up-and-coming young photographer I want people to know about. His name is Ben and he is 14 years old. His photoblog is aptly named "14 Years".
