Northern California cold water diver

Over 40 (Some time ago)


All my photos are shot by me! I employ very little
processing. Some of the underwater shots have had
lighting and colors adjusted due to the filtering effects of
ocean water. Otherwise most photos are direct from the
camera and not even cropped. I like to try to compose as
I want the final picture to be.

    "I'm really happy to be norcal diver down's friend and to see his extraordinary photos. He is such a good photographer. He doesn't need (almost) to edit his photos, while almost every one of mine needs careful cropping, re-adjusting and colors/light corrections.
    So I look up to him and enjoy his photography. He takes photos of ocean big way, while I'm just a "sissy" that is only able to look and enjoy through his lense. Deep dives or high surfs are not for me, but I enjoy looking at them on his stream."

    "Oboe-y~ Here is an interesting photostream. Slightly fishy, somewhat colorful, with historically visual overtones. All in all a nice journey, if somewhat short."
