Had the pleasure of visiting Bermuda for a few days this week, and managed to squeezed in a few dives with Dive Bermuda while I was here. I was pleasantly surprised by how healthy the reef was - lots of healthy corals and gorgonians. And the wrecks were pretty cool to see as well.
I get questions from time to time about what gear I normally shoot with. I'm a Nikon shooter, and most of my underwater shots are with the D200 or D800, and topside with the D800 or D850 more recently.
I'm packing up some stuff for a quick trip next week, so I figured I'd post a few shots of what this all looks like on land, and in-the-water.
After weeks of being sidelined with travel and bad weather, we managed to squeeze in a quick trip out in between early morning fog and afternoon winds. Was a pleasant surprise to run into a large pod of transient Orcas apparently feeding on a grey whale kill - the pod stayed for hours swimming around while feeding, and coming up to each of the boats to check things out.
Spent a couple hours on the way home visiting the Osprey nest - luckily caught the Ospreys mating, followed by seeing the male go off fishing and come back with dinner.
I found out there's a new thing - a Super Blue Blood moon. A super-moon is a full-moon that coincides with the moon's closest point to Earth in its orbit (so it's big). A blue moon is the second full-moon that falls into the same Gregorian calendar month. A blood moon is a full lunar eclipse (because of the reddish tint that the moon takes on while eclipsed).
Tonight, all three are occurring - I'm headed out for a night of shooting to see what I come up with.
