Starfish « One Diver’s Perspective.

Starfish

The “typical” way to shoot a starfish is to focus right down on top of it, so you can see all five arms.

Instead of shooting an ordinary shot, I decided it would be nice to get a picture with the background of “eel grass.” In this way, it appears as though my starfish is sitting on the lawn. Enjoy.

Hi again David -
I think these photos portray the starfish more as a living animal in its natural (?) habitat, rather than as a pretty “thing” like most shots.

Great job -except that you’re making me want to spend money on better photo equipment!

About

Eventually, I hope to become incredibly wealthy by generating more traffic than all of the worldwide web combined. But, until such time as I have a product to sell, I will be content to offer my musings, my photographs and my dry wit to brighten the day of anybody who happens to stumble across its content.

I love to scuba dive, and enjoy earning my living somewhere in the northeastern United States. Of course, there is an air of mystery about divers. We dare to go where a lot of other people never really thought about. I am by no means a professional diver or photographer. I’ve dived a week here, and a week there, with here and there being Bonaire, Belize, Jamaica, Cayman Brac, Little Cayman, Cozumel, Hawaii and most recently, the Exumas in the Bahamas.
