Photography, pool photography, underwater

It’s winter time and I’m kind of stuck. At least as far as UW photography in the wild is concerned. This led me to try something new : UW model shooting also called UW fashion photography. As we were right in the middle of Carnival the theme was chosen instinctively. A couple of diving friends (stuck the same way I am) were more than happy to join the adventure. The resulting collection covers a large range of impressions : from helplessly ridiculous (remember, it was Carnival time) to dreamy, enchanted and even sexy. Watch by yourself! Any constructive comments and suggestions are warmly welcome.

Perfect moment : winning a gold medal in UWP contest

perfect moments, PhotoCompetitons, underwater

well today I will tell you about a perfect moment which is happening now as I try to write 🙂

I take part in the UWP contest for a couple of years but only did so more seriously since last year. Last December, 3 of my images went into the finals, one in the freshwater, one in the wide angle with diver and one in the Macro nudibranch category.

These were great news. And finally today we got the results! And guess what?

I am winning the Gold medal in the Macro Nudibranch category with my image “Golden”

To my great surprise my freshwater shot placed as Runner Up as well 🙂

Runner Up in Freshwater category

When I’m in the water and taking photos I don’t think about competitions and medals. I enjoy that moment which enables me to get a close look into a world which is unknown for a lot of humans. I can’t believe that your photos are getting better if you have the ambition of competition in your mind. So I will go on taking pictures just because I love being in that wet world, below the surface, face to face to a wonderfully different world!

I’m happy to see so many familiar names in the winners’ list. Congratulations to all of you! I hope that you have your own personal “perfect moment” as well today!
