This evening I shot the Birmingham Seaholm and Troy High boys water polo game. I went because I wanted to see my cousin play, but as I can’t keep my hand off my camera, I went and took pictures as well. I am getting a little better at water polo, the lighting conditions aren’t greatContinue reading “Birmingham Seaholm Vs. Troy High Boys Water Polo”

Star Trail Photography Continued
Star Trail Photography Attempt 2 Tonight I tried once again to put together a decent star trail photo using my canon 20d and a decent manfrotto tripod. Unfortunately there is a lot of light pollution in my area, so the number of stars you can see in the shot is limited. But I will definatelyContinue reading “Star Trail Photography Continued”
Experimenting with star trail photography
So tonight I tried once again to capture a star trail. I set my camera up for an extra long exposure, for about 40 minutes. Again it failed miserably. So I decided to finally do some research. I found this tutorial via google, and it provided just what I needed, directions, and even freeware toContinue reading “Experimenting with star trail photography”
Macro Challenges
This week I came across three macro shots that I would have like to spend the entire dive on. First, on a 40 ft spur and groove west of Alligator light, I came across a sailfin blenny. I took around 10 shots but I was with another group of divers that wanted to move onContinue reading “Macro Challenges”
Another Successful Week
With another successful group of students certified this week, today I enjoyed a couple fun dives with a great group of guys. Each week is different, a different group dynamic, but all my crews have been great this summer. Teaching this summer has been a challenge to say the least, but I have learned alotContinue reading “Another Successful Week”
Past Few Weeks
The past few weeks have been very productive. My homemade camera setup has been modified and repaired several times, and my photos are getting better and better (I think). This juvenile spotted drum was found hanging out on Long Key Ledge Reef off the coast of Long Key. This loggerhead is a common sight onContinue reading “Past Few Weeks”
Back In Business
The wind died down a bit yesterday enough to let the boats venture out. It was a rough set of dives from what I heard from the other divemasters as I was in the classroom with Mike and I’s new certification crew. They attempted a dive at Alligator resulting in no viz. Reed who jumpedContinue reading “Back In Business”
High Winds
For the past two days and possibly today the Florida Sea Base diving vessels have stayed in port. At 25 knots, the wind prevents us from taking participants out on the water safely. During the past couple days we have had other activities and tried to keep the kids entertained. Before the wind got tooContinue reading “High Winds”
Tragedy
Again tragedy strikes, I have flooded yet another camera. I believe it to be my own fault, something on the housing o-ring caused the housing to leak I believe. Luckily it only flooded a little and my memory card was not affected. I ended up completely disassembling my camera in an attempt to fix it,Continue reading “Tragedy”
Summer Begins
The summer has begun at the Florida National High Adventure Seabase where I have found myself this summer. This summer I will be teaching PADI Open Water Scuba Certification classes. I have had one class so far that I co-taught with my fellow instructor Mike Roesel. The group of kids and dads was awesome. ItContinue reading “Summer Begins”
Photographing Dolphins
One of the marine creatures I love to photograph the most are dolphins. Partly because encounters in the wild are rare, but also because when you do encounter them, photographing them can be a challenge to say the least. Having had the privilege to live in the Florida Keys working for 4 summers, I haveContinue reading “Photographing Dolphins”
In Michigan
So after a 1600 mile drive we made it to Michigan. In a couple days we will head down to the keys. While I have been home I had the pleasure of shooting one of my cousin’s soccer games. The lighting was challenging. The sun was going down and it was almost at the horizon,Continue reading “In Michigan”
