Photography

It all started with taking pictures underwater - nudibranchs are ideal subjects, they don't move about much and when they do it is reasonably slowly and they are colourful, mostly. Now it is about finding out as much as I can about them, recording their behaviour and keeping a record of their appearance around the sites I dive.

Images are captured in RAW format on a 16gb SD card. The use of RAW leaves me with the widest options for work in the digital darkroom.

The digital darkroom is currently a Dell Studio 1555 with 8 gb memory. I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop in the image workflow and upload to the site with SmartFTP. The site is maintained with Dreamweaver, viewed on Firefox and is hosted on 123, so far without problems.
