Here are a few more photos from my first underwater photography project "Underwater Dreams".
As I mentioned in Part 1, they were ALL taken with a Fuji XP80 sport camera. With proper lighting (full sun) and calm, clear water, this camera does a great job giving me the base photos to work from and digitally enhance to create the final images.
This session took about 3 hours, from 11AM to 2PM, and required a lot of patience from me and the models with passing clouds and fabrics that floated freely in the currents. This second part of the session used a white netting material to act as a contrasting color for the blues. For these I used the "beach daylight" settings on the camera, NOT the "underwater" setting as you might think. That setting mutes out the skin tones and results in an overall blue-ish tint to the photos with splotchy shadow areas.
In the coming months as I get going here on Steemit I will make many of photos in my collections available for purchase. If you want to get future posts on when I make them available, be sure to follow me.
Stay tuned for more photos from this underwater session.

Love it!!
Thank you.
Very surreal! The fabric underwater and light refractions are almost like clouds in a tempestuous sky. Very cool!
