Here, I present to you my fourth attempt at underwater photography. If you’ve been silly enough to take the time to work through my galleries one by one, you’ve seen my first three attempts at underwater photography. As you browse this one, you’ll most likely ask yourself what happened. I seem to have regressed in my picture taking abilities. I agree it would seem that way. I was using the same 1.3 megapixel Reefmaster digital camera with twin strobes that I had managed reasonably decent pictures with before so I can’t blame it on the quality of the equipment. So what’s my lame excuse? I have a couple of them. First, I was having equipment issues (fogged lens, failure to turn the camera on before entering the water, camera in the wrong mode, etc). Second, I didn’t do as much diving as usual. I only had about 200 pictures to choose from instead of the 700 from last time. I was still using the sweepstakes method but I didn’t have as many entries.
