Undersea Sponges |

| During my scuba-days (in the late 80s) I dabbled
with underwater photography. All I do know is that it was taken with a Nikonos IV
with an SB103 flash and the standard 35mm lens. Once below about 25 feet, you lose all color - everything appears blue. First you lose reds and oranges and as you go deeper you eventually lose all color. Artificial light (i.e., a strobe) is required to "see" things in their real colors. You can see the "blue" look of the background and how the green reef turns blue as the light of the stobe falls off. |
