Most of my environmental portraits have a connection with the ocean and the experience of being immersed in something we love to do; dive!<\/p>\n
I jokingly named this diver ‘Dives With Sponges’ after an old Kevin Costner movie but his real name is Herbert, a German friend come to Adelaide and Rapid Bay specifically to dive with and photograph our Leafy Sea Dragons.<\/p>\n
The visibility for Herbet’s dives here was very poor ranging from 1-3m over the dives we did. However we we not disappointed with the Leafys we found.<\/p>\n
As for this image, it was nearly called ‘Dives In Sponges’ instead.<\/p>\n
