Very nice! Great lighting.

Stunning Alex!

Do you have a photo of the LSD prime itself?

Rene,

Great shots! I really like # 3 because of the reflections - but that is my personal preference, utilizing the unique aspects of shooting underwater to enhance the images.

Nat looks very comfortable underwater! Sometimes the hardest part is finding a good model

We are rewriting the competition page from the ground up, to make it better and to ensure that the new code is compatible with the new site.

 

I don't have any idea of when it will be completed, but we are working on it.

 

Sorry to be vague.

 

What I can guarantee is that when it is back, I will be telling everyone about it!

It's coming back, don't worry! 

Hi Alexis,

To answer your questions about pools, your best bet would be to find a filthy rich friend with a clear pool that was heated year round, and since you're based in the midwest, indoors too! 

In all seriousness, ideally you have a private pool at someone's house that will let you get in and practice. There are so many variabilities in photography, even more so in underwater photography in a pool including time of day, angle of the sun, shade trees, trees dropping foliage, clarity of the water, etc. it would be nice to have access whenever you wanted.

Public pools are very tricky, especially when kids use them. Talk to the aquatics director and see if there are times you can use the pool. And no, they usually won't turn off a filtration system ; )

Do you have a dive shop in your area with a pool attached? That would be a great resource to try.
