galaxies above!

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 25 July 2008 in Art & Design.

Its time to go underwater and try to describe the beauty as well as the difficulties of taking picture underwater. The location is the Aegean sea surrounding the island of Alonissos which belongs in the Sporades complex together with the islands of Skiathos and Skopelos. Please take a DEEP BREATH and follow me……….

One of the most spectacular and fun shots is as you swim just turn the camera and focus on the surface above at various angles. There are a lot of reflections and the result varies from the artistic to the extraordinary. This shot when I looked at it afterwards gave me the impression that I was floating in space looking at galaxies.
