Drift dive, a photo from South Sinai, Delta

Photographer's Note

My first drift dive at 22.9m. I am learning fast that underwater photography is much more difficult than it seems!

Photo taken on a negative bouyancy decent. Most of the fish are Scalefin anthias. The dive site is called Shark reef, Ras Mohammed, Sharm el Sheikh.

Colour curve changed and no other post processing done.

Hello . bravo ... but ...

When you go dive in the red sea ... with canon ixus 400 , for best colors , only 2 or 3 meters with flash ( spotlight ) . The divers are ... in 5 or 7 meters ( sorry bad english ... now in french .. ) . A n'importe quelle profondeur les couleurs sont belles mais les flash des pocket vont jusqu'à 2 ou 3 m à l'horizontal .

Mais joli , mais attention à la distance .

Hi Mark, I put this photo on my favourite list, that should say it all. I think it`s incredible that you haven`t got more points for this one. It deserves so much more!
Best regards,
Jan

hi mark
I must say that this is my fav photo from your portfolio. The colors are amazing and warm although it is in the blue region of the gamma. One can really realize the vast majority of fish that is there and what a dynamic life it has. 10x for sharing

Great!
I like the action and colour. Yellows and blue fit well together. Bubbles highlight the photo. The fish are just about right amount blurred to give sense of movement.
