Diving Silfra with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II
Mar 09
In January I had a chance to take the new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera and PT-EP14 housing out for a spin while on vacation in Iceland. We were diving Silfra, famed for its extremely clear water. This dive falls on many must do lists, and I would highly recommend it, just not in the dead of winter! It was about 17° Fahrenheit (-8° Celsius) outside, making the 40°F (5° C) feel really...
10 Days in the Galapagos with the Aquatica A7RII
Aug 08
Diving in the Galapagos isn’t for the faint of heart. From the heart pounding surge and currents at Wolf and Darwin, to the chilly waters around the main islands, like Isabela, the Galapagos can really test a diver’s skill. Knowing that I was headed for the adventure of a lifetime, and what could be my most challenging diving to date, I wanted to make sure I had the right tools for the...
Diving Socorro with the Sony A7R II

Sailfish with the Sony a7R II
Mar 09
Swimming with sailfish is a special experience. But it’s different from most dive trips because you need to mix hard work with planning and luck to get a shot. There’s no guarantee that you will see the fish, there’s no guide to help you capture the perfect shot if you do find the fish, and the weather can make or break your entire day. But this is exactly what I loved...
SoCal Shootout: Story Behind the Shot, Ben Hofilena
Nov 04
Wide angle compositions are often the hardest to nail perfectly. During the SoCal Shootout participants have to do just that. There is very little editing allowed, so getting correct lighting, exposure and above all, that striking composition is key. Ben Hofilena succeeded with his first place image in our open wide angle category. While he claims just a lucky shot, he at least knew the most...
SoCal Shootout: Story Behind the Shot, Cindy Shaw
Oct 21

With that in mind we loved this playful capture of a Bat Ray from Cindy Shaw which took First Place in the Open Portrait Category. Here are the details that went into this winning image. Title: Wanna Play? Location Captured:...
