St Lucia Pix
Wasn't too sure where to put this, but thought this might be as good a place as any.
Below is a link to some pictures that I took last week.
It's nothing too spectacular, but does give a good general idea about whats under the Caribbean Sea just off St Lucia's west coastline.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing your photos!
Is it as dark as it looks in the photos or is it just the cam?
It isn't as dark as it looks - that was just me not getting the lighting right for the camera. The viz is normal really good - about 50 to 100 ft.
Just blame the user not the equipment!

That is what I thought. I know it is not your fault, these cams don't do well without lots of light. The strobes you can get still only work for pretty close shots.
Once you get your buoyancy down, I am sure you will get lots of photo practice in. Considering you have that diving in your backyard and all.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PICS!
Yeah. Not bad eh?
I'm thinking of doing the peak buoyancy and underwater photographer adventure courses for my AOW (gonna do next month) - then they'll be no stopping me with getting snappy with a camera!!! - well, might be an idea if I actually got my own camera!!!
Glad you liked the pics!

Enjoyed the photos Lottie!
If you don't run your photos through Photoshop and you want me to massage a few of them for you and see what the Genie brings since I need the practice, let me know.
Cool pics Lottie, thanks for sharing them. There does appear to be a lot of vibrant colors in the waters off of St. Lucia. For a relatively new diver taking a camera underwater for the first time, I would say you did an excellent job. Nothing beats practice for getting better, and as iDiveChick alluded to, Photoshop can be your friend for bringing out the real magic after the dive. Hope to see more photos as you progress.
Bama - You say the nicest things. I was quite surprised how the pics turned out. There were a number that came out really dark, that I didn't post up, but quite pleased with the end result.
iDiveChick - I dont' have photoshop, but if you have some time and want to massage a few of them, please don't let me stop you.

I also make a helluva great Irish Coffee, you might want to keep that in mind for when you get your bar openOriginally Posted by lottie
