West Indian Manatee

Incredible shot - excellent!!!

awesome

This one is excellent! I love the head on view and the clarity. I noticed that you mentioned an EWA-Marine housing. Do those work well? I have been looking at getting one for an upcoming trip to Hawaii. I don't intend to do any deep diving, just some snorkeling and something that would allow me to get my camera under the water in the tide pools.

This was my first time using the EWA Marine housing Linda. I was reluctant to put my MKII under water in this housing, but quickly gained confidence after the first dunk in my laundry sink at home. I used it for 4 days snorkeling with no problems.

Thanks for the info, Rich. I was just looking at some of the other Manatee photos from the workshop and they are all great. The other thing that I was worried about, besides taking my camera underwater was image quality, but it looks like it is great. I made note of the shooting details too. I have the EF17-40 lens for my D60.

This one I would describe as simple and elegant.. I really like this one Rich. Maybe its the impact of the straight on view or the vertical format, or maybe the gestering flipper position..... Just terrific..

This has to be the best shot posted so far of these beautiful creatures Rich! The head on shot and angle of movement really makes this one special!!

This is a great one, Rich. I like the reflection at the top and the fact that there is room underneath the manatee. Well exposed and nice pose too.

Excellent shot, Rich. I also like the reflection at the water surface and the extended flipper.

Rich,

This one rocks!!!!!!!!

Way to go - wish I was still there

Best,

Chas

This is very nice! Love the reflection and the flipper position.

Crystal River is on my list of places to visit!

I agree with everyone else - the comp, the colors, the reflection - great shot!

Sweet shot Rich. I like everything about it.

wish i was there with you guys. Great shot Rich !!
