The girl in the picture is my firstborn and she saw the light:-) more than 14 years ago under water...I guess this makes this image predestined! Shot with Olympus EPL-2, Panasonic 8mm, 1/320 f6.3 Iso 200, magic filter.

ZEN My favourite place at dawn. The famous Sandbar (close to Stingray City) in Grand Cayman. We don't feed the Stingrays (we go before the feedings starts). This makes them at ease, like it eases us. They choose to hang around, look, play, rest!

'I love you too'
This hawskbill turtle seemed to love me so, he approached the dome to embrace with its flippers. I couldn't get lower or get back since the reef was there, but I just enjoyed the moment!

What do we have here...
Even when your strobes don't work and you've lost all colors because of depth (105ft), you always find things you do have, in this case divers and a great wall. Time for a B/W again (maybe I just sell my new strobes;-)

No need for big toys - When knowing how to "draw with the light", even the smallest camera can produce a winner shot. Awesome scene, Ellen !
