Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.

Shot with a Canon 300D in an Ikelite housing and using a single 125 strobe at False Entrance divesite, Osprey Reef, Coral Sea aboard the Nimrod Explorer. The shot was heavily cropped, and it was sheer luck the the focus pinged this shrimp. Apart from a crop, levels were adjusted, as well as a bit of saturation. A little tidying up completed the picture. Photocomp February '05 - Open
This shot was taken at Pixie's Gardens In North Queensland last November, using a Canon 300D in an Ikelite housing using a single 125 strobe. Was shot in raw, with tinkering done in Photoshop. Apart from the usual levels, saturation, etc., this shot was cropped and a bit of tidying up was done. Photocomp February '05 - Open
Taken with Canon 300D in Ikelite housing using standard 18-55 lens and single Ikelite 125 strobe. Whilst only a small specimen (looks as if the little fella has just gained it's adult colours) it is still absolutely glorious. He tried to hide in a cave, but I found him. Three shots taken. This one I prefer due to the back lighting and the angle of the fish (the others are a more normal position). Photocomp Feburary '05 - Open
