I like that! Y'all in the UW section are producing some very nice work.

This was originally in color, but I like the way it looks in black & white...a lost anchor

The B&W gives them a lonely, wondering mood...These are nice in B&W.

I have done several of my color shots in Sepia tone, to use in a wall grouping for a room decorated in black/khaki/brushed nickel. These are some of the ones that did the best in sepia...

I SO wish I wasnt terrified of water, so I could shoot stuff like this! LOL Very nice work!

I have had a lot of students say the same thing. Then as soon as we do our first "blue water" dive and they see all the amazing colors underwater, they forgot all about being afraid.

Fear of something is just your brains way of saying "Ya know, I should learn more about this and work up my skill level..."

What's left of the wreck of the Lartington...

Lartington departed from Savannah on December 8th, with a full cargo of 4,000 bales of cotton. She was under the command of Captain George Dixon and bound for the port of Revel in Russia. A strong south easterly gale hit and washed away everything that wasn't tied down. At 8:00 AM on the 10th, the wind veered to the west. A huge sea struck the Lartington's stern causing a loud crack. Sea water started to pour in and although her pumps ran for ten hours, they could not keep up with the flooding water. On the 12th, Captain Dixon, fearing that his ship would founder, headed for Bermuda. On the morning of the14th, 1878, the Lartington went aground near Western Blue Cut. The crew abandoned ship in lifeboats and was soon spotted and towed into Hamilton by a pilot boat.

The Marine Board of Inquiry attributed the stranding to gross negligence and carelessness. The Captain should have taken soundings for depth and should never have altered his course to the southeast.
