samplin 2 Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Hamid Just love your photos.. I real different point of view on the standard. The nudi on the reef with the sun ball is incredible. Please tell the gear you use. Not that it matters.. Joe Hey guys !

Elastek 2 Posted June 19, 2012 Hey thanks a lot, Most of the photos were taken with a Canon 600d / Nauticam housing / single z240. Some of the older photos were taken with either a G9 / Ike housing or G12 / FIX housing. I like minimalism as i think it makes UW photography much more accessible to a wider public. Please feel free to share the link ! H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdpriest 115 Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Just wanted to share my new (and 1st) website with y'all... It's good, but "minimalism"? I like your focus on the important subject, but I think that "minimalism" is something much more extreme, much more artificial and perhaps not so applicable to what is, fundamentally, wildlife photography. Is this minimalism? The detail on the shell makes it something else, I think... Edited December 20, 2012 by tdpriest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elastek 2 Posted December 26, 2012 Hey thanks guys for the comments. tdpriest, I believe the use of 'minimalism' to define my work is very subjective, and I the general idea is to have a more basic approach of UW photography, in opposition to most UW 'illustrative' work you see in magazines and such, aiming towards technically good shots, and often missing the instinctive & emotional aspect of it all. Simple is beautliful in my opinion. Your turtle shot is minimalistic only if you think it is, again it's all about subjectivity and point of view. Merry minimalistic Xmas and Happy New Year !
