rogercarlson > In June of 2006, I took my gear along on a business trip and dove in Lake Erie. I had heard that the vis was good, and that old wooden sailing ships were well preserved, but that didn't prepare me for the excitement of seeing this wreck as I decended to it on the mooring line. The foremast is still up, the bowsprit is intact, and the railing is still so strong that the mooring line is tied to it. The Washington Irving sank in 1860.

rogercarlson > I had a lot of fun taking this portrait on a night dive. I realized that I could use my strobe arms as tripod legs to steady my camera for long exposures of divers with lights at night, the blue lights in the distance sure are pretty. Then I realized that with the self timer, I could get in the picture myself, and a lot of trial and error (and hard swimming) got me this image. I like the way you can tell I'm right handed and that I borrowed a pink flashlight from Judy.

rogercarlson > A nearly invisbile pygmy seahorse. The DM pointed this one out on our first dive, and I never saw it, I just took a photo of the area. But later, after a week of seeing them, it was easy to spot in this photo.
