[UW Photo A174] The hope

I may have said before that I am serious about the aesthetic value of an UW photo. 

This photo doesn’t have any rare creature or phenomenon, but this is a typical example for a recreated art. This is simple and unique. 

This is an example for a photo I captured in very poor sea conditions. Water was murky and current was strong that lead me think photography is the last thing I would consider doing.

Hawkfish is not difficult to capture because they stay still for a while allowing you to get a photo if approach gently. In this case, I am particularly pleased with the diverse background colours those add something more to the image.

This a portrait of a Moray Eel captured in Trincomalee. Low depth of field is used to emphasise the facial expression and blur the background.

This is renowned photographer Simon Lorenz shooting at famous Car Wreck off the coast of Colombo, Sri Lanka. I was lucky enough to dive with this world class photographer and get a couple of valuable advises as an amateur photographer.

[UW Photo A158] A portrait of Lizard fish


This lizard fish is a typical example of a bottom dweller commonly found in shallow waters around Sri Lanka. Once disturbed, they move fast from one place to another. Then stop and freeze, making it hard to identify. In order to get a portrait, you need to sneak carefully from front on the sandy bottom, provided it’s a flat terrain. This time I was lucky enough to focus on the eyes. I am also pleased with the Bokeh effect that made negative space blurred.

[UW Photo A156] Taprobane East Wreck – Birds eye view

 


Taprobane East Wreck is a typical example for a shipwreck with outstanding beauty, tranquility and life, which is nothing but a dream of any shipwreck enthusiast. The day I dived the wreck was extra special in terms of visibility. Though it lies around 30m depth, wreck was clearly visible from far. This provided me the avenue to capture a bird’s eye view of the wreck.
