wow, very difficult shot!

Marcus Lim Thanks for your comments Pedro. The main difficulty was finding the mantas!

After spending some time snorkeling and shooting underwater recently(with very little success) I have a whole new appreciation for photographs like this. I think everyone should give it a try even if all you have is a little toss away. :-)

Wonderful shot!

Marcus Lim Thanks Tracy! Underwater is different. Aim to get as close as possible and shoot upwards! I toss away 99% of my shots! Best of luck, Marcus

Tracy Martin Well I decided after that trip that I would just sell the new underwater housing kit I got for my Olympus C5060 along with the camera because it was just too difficult and not as much fun for me as normal shooting. However I really do appreciate underwater images soooo much more because of my experience.

Marcus Lim Yeah Tracy, you also have to worry about air consumption, narcosis, risk of decompression, currents and freezing your butt off amongst other things! :) Best, Marcus

Mikael Jigmo Tracy

You can't give up so easy :-)

All the best

Mikael
