    Here is a photo from Wexford, off Kilmore Quay. The site of the Lennox. Please don't laugh it is my first attempt with the camera.

    Thats a pretty good picture paddy. Nice depth - no back scatter. What camera did you use?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 paddywhack


    SERIOUS?????

    The camera is a Sealife DC310. No external strobe or anything. The depth of the dive was only 8M. The rest of the photos were useless because of a plankton bloom further on.

    Thanks for the kind words. I will try for more photos soon. Sunday 10th I'm hoping to go to Scuba Dive West and get a shot or two there. Will be deeper dives so I can see how the lightening etc stands up.

    I like the pipefish!!
    Where abouts is massmount, and what sort of dive is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 125 ✭✭Miss Polaris


    Massmount, is a tiny village in Donegal. There is a dive site just walk in off the main road past the church. Its a great shore dive all year round - its around the 10m mark most of the reef and life is. It goes right down to 30m and is as black as night. It is part of Mulroy Bay - so it has a hint of fresh water in it. Great spot for night dives and training etc..

    Hi all

    In case anyone's interested you can see some of the pics of my recent dive trip in Safaga in the Red Sea at this address: http://public.fotki.com/Shivvv/diving_-_safaga_-/

    They were taken at several reefs (Abou El Kefin, Umm Hal Hal, Gamul Kebir) and the wreck shots are from the Salem Express.

    I have some better ones which I'll upload when I can find the CD :)

    This is just in reply to Ginger, how big was the white-tip reef shark? Because I was scuba diving in the Maldives with black-tip reef sharks (sorry broke the digital camers:() and they were really small! Note to anyone that goes scuba-diving in the Maldives, don't be expecting amazing coral as most of it is detroyed:( However the fish are amazing and there is loads of turtles and sting-rays.

    How do you get the photo to embed in the message, rather than just being a link?

    OK, I tried that but I didn't have the photo online anywhere. So do I take it that you've saved the photo online somewhere, and linked to it? I thought you'd just be able to put it up here without having to have it on another site first.
    Thanks again.

    A few from today in Carraroe...

    Extremely low tide (low tide at highest spring tide of the year!). Amazing amount of light in areas which are normally a few meters deeper. Some of the colours seem fake but they're actually real! ;)

    nice ones joe the aul anenomes are always mad colours and often the only thing I can get a shot of in the winter but haven't been diving so far this year only surfing. Maybe the end of the month.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭ronanmac


    Those colours are fantastic, Joe! Great photos.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭joeKel73


    Thanks, yeah you wouldn't think they were natural!

    Out of curiosity, when were they taken? Was diving at Dóilín coral beach just before Christmas and viz was cat. Looking crystal clear there, but that might be a tribute to your photography rather than viz?!
