		<description><![CDATA[I am really enjoying working with Adobe Lightroom. The small amount of editing tools compared to Photoshop are just right when it comes to streamlining your digital photography work flow. For example, I was able to modify several &#8216;throw away&#8217; pictures I had in my archives and create something a little more artistic. These images [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past week I made time to edit some of my underwater photos. With the limited visibility and my suborn attitude (I wanted to shoot all wide-angle with my new lens) the photos were less than stellar right off of the memory card. Using Adobe Lightroom, I was able to rescue a number of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post I shared a video of an aggressive Green Moray eel while diving in Islamorada. The more I looked at the video, the more I felt that the color was way too heavy in the blue spectrum. Using Adobe Premiere I decided to work a little on the color correction.
Why color correction? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is the last day of fishing and diving for the crew. While we weren&#8217;t able to spear any fish on the bottom of the reef, we were able to bring some bluefin tuna back by throwing plugs at a feeding school.

I have also been playing around with some of my &#8216;throw away&#8217; pictures and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During one of my dives yesterday I found that water was steadily streaming in from one of the glands on my Ikelite housing. It all started when I noticed I could not depress the shutter button with the shutter lever. Shortly after that, the lever came off of the housing allowing water to leak into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the second dive of the day the shutter lever came off of my Ikelite housing. This allowed water to begin flowing into the housing. I was able to get a few mediocre shots before the flooding, so here they are.







And this is the final shot from the camera just before water reached the lens.

		<description><![CDATA[Day two was nice and relaxing. We fished off the reef but only managed to pull up a few grunts, hinds, and a large barracuda (pictures to follow). I will share an image that I neglected to post yesterday of the first undersea animal to greet us here in Islamorada. Enjoy.

		<description><![CDATA[The first day in Islamorada was a hot one. While on the dive boat my dive computer read 100 degrees. Despite the heat, we were able to get several good dives in.






As an added bonus, during our SIT time, I was able to fight this monster off the reef.

Perhaps that is what makes the sea turtle such a favorite object of our photographic expression.  However, the challenges of photographing turtles are numerous.
