What photos can you expect?

There is no garuantee that you will get a shot like each of these, but there is a very good chance you can get the ones you really like. Talk to me before the dive if there are any particular shots you would like to get. I normally use at least 2 different camera systems, but can only carry one at a time, so it helps me to plan camera changes if you let me know which shots you like best.

Entry animated gif

These are usually easy to get, as long as you wait for me to get into the water first. Make sure you step in on the count of 3..

Over-Under portrait

Not so easy to get. Sometimes they work, often they don't. Getting the 2 parts of the picture lined up and in focus is really quite a random affair. I will usually shoot quite a few and hopefully get one good one.

Surface Portrait

Easy to get if the conditions are ok and we aren't in too much of a hurry to start our descent. Best done before I swap to the big camera.

Underwater Portrait

Easy to get even if the conditions are terrible. This one was taken in the worst visibility ever seen here, less than 1m. The hardest part was staying in contact. Shortly after I took this shot I did a loop to get a better angle and couldn't find the diver again. I got the shots though, and the customer was very happy.

Profile Picture

Easy to get. It helps if you can hover in one spot while I line up the shot, but this is not always necessary. I can usually get a shot that would look good as a profile pic.

Under the boat

Easy to get but only if the conditions are reasonably good so we can see the boat as we return to it. If the vis is not so good we will often surface before finding the boat.

Creature shots

This one depends on luck and fine buoyancy control. Usually only works with experienced divers who can position themselves accurately in the water.

Reef shots

Reasonably easy to get, as long as the visibility is average to good. Usually works fine with any diver. This one is a try diver on their first ever dive.
