I actually created this image early in my 1000 images project but for some reason it never made it into the collection even though I have shown it before.<\/p>\n
On reflection it would be a pitty to not include one of Adelaide’s most popular and accessible dive sites so it’s now officially number 980.<\/p>\n
There is a little bit of history behind this image I’d like to share.<\/p>\n
I submitted ‘My Very Own Fish Bowl’ to a well known US Celebrity Photographer’s show for a blind critique. He looked at it, scratched his head and asked if he was looking at an aquarium shot before seeming being critical of people who take photos into aquariums.<\/p>\n
Oh well, maybe if I have called it something like ‘Killer Piranhas’ I would have avoided the prejudiced reception.<\/p>\n
For me this image captures so much of what I love about scuba diving Port Noarlunga Jetty.<\/p>\n
Huge schools of sweep and silver drummer to entertain the new divers training here. A tranquil protected space behind the reef to simply relax, shakedown gear not used often enough and the anticipation of what lies on the other side.<\/p>\n
I really do feel like it’s my very own fish bowl!<\/p>\n
