jsmithNW 2 Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Hi, I'm Justin Smith from Corvallis, Oregon. I'm in the midst of producing a documentary about global coral reef decline. http://coralreefmovie.org/ Previous to embarking on this film my producing partner and I had no previous dive experience. It's been a thrilling journey thus far. I'm looking forward to connecting with experienced underwater shooters and progressing our skills as we continue to travel for this project. Thanks!

Mikael 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Hi, my name is Mikael and I am based in Glasgow Scotland. Started shooting UW about two years ago and last year moved into learning manual and using external flashes. Prior to this I had never been much more then a happy snaps type photographer above the water so it is very much the UW aspect that is driving me to get to grips with manual. A lot of what I am doing is down to trial and error. Unfortunately my chances to dive are a bit irregular and often I leave the camera behind altogether when for example I am doing my bit as a branch instructor so my learning curve is a slow one for now. Exciting when shots are starting to work. Lots of room for improvement over composition, lighting, exposure... but still good to know that the basics are attainable so I persevere.

Sharkpixie 0 Posted June 30, 2015 Hello! I'm Tanya, and I live in Virginia, USA. I've been a diver for almost 7 years. I've been an underwater photographer for a year now, and my favorite subject is sharks. I use an Olympus OM-D E-M1, a Nauticam housing, Sea&Sea YS-D1 strobes, and a Fix NEO 2000 DX SWR light. I typically use a Panasonic Lumix 8mm fisheye lens since most of my photography is wide angle. I've learned quite a lot through Wetpixel, and decided that it was about time to start using the forums. My photos may be viewed at www.BlueElementsImaging.com. Happy diving, everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
