Had a fantastic 3 days of diving this past weekend off Cape Hatteras, NC. Made it to the TARPON, PROTEUS, KESHENA, and DIXIE ARROW. Here are a few pictures. Complete report and more pictures on my blog: Down too long in the mignight sea...

Very cool pics! Thanks for sharing! What kind of gear were you shooting on?

In the second pic - Who won the show down? The Optima diver or the little fish?

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

I was using a Nikon D100 in a Light and Motion housing that I very recently acquired so I still have a lot a learning to do. I was shooting with only ambient light (upgraded lighting system en route).

The fish didn't stand a chance against Danny, that's why he was in the lead.

Wow, su-f'ing-perb pictures- well done!

A couple of those would make great Desktop images- any chance of you releasing them in hi-res?

I like the one of the OC diver in the school of fish with the shark coming towards the camera- very nice compostion.

A few years ago I was on a trip with Brad Sheard off Northern Ireland, he was shooting similar shots as this, I wish I had his permission to post some here they are superb and similarly atmospheric.

I've attached a still from my video (sorry for poor quality) of Brad shooting- gives a very small impression of the viz and shooting stills at 70mtrs!
Wreck was SS Empire Heritage, thats one of the many Sherman tanks onboard.

+1, VERY nice Brandon! I especially like B&W wreck photos taken with ambient light. They're very dramatic, and IMO well convey the feeling I get when diving.
