I often get asked how many shots I take during a single dive.  Instead of fumbling around with words, I decided to thumbnail and present every image I captured during a dive last week at a site called Horshu II near Rabaul, Papua New Guinea.  On this particular dive, I snapped off 84 frames while using a Tokina 17mm lens on my Seacam-housed Canon 1Ds Mk II.

All thumbnails are extracted JPG thumbnails from RAW files (not converted—they’re the thumbnails that get embedded along with the RAW data), and have not been manipulated in any way.

  1. This is awesome. As a n00b, it’s interesting to see how others work. Even “throw-away” shots aren’t wasted, as you learn from each shot.

  2. Great idea to show a day in the life of a dive.

    Cheers

  3. Fantastic little narative of a dive’s shooting. Us amateurs can certainly learn a lot from seeing how the pro’s shoot during a dive. Love the comments too! Surprisingly insightful.
