One more thing echoing the comment about "haven't almost all fish been documented enough already" ?

This is something I kind of agree with. But try telling someone on vacation anywhere (National Parks, etc.) that they shouldn't take their OWN photo because a postcard or whatever shot is already better that anything they might take.

Photos are PERSONAL to people whether they're art or crap LOL.....

That said looking forward to ways to image the UW world here's one photographer I truly admire. Read his comments in one of the articles not only about compact cameras displacing big rigs UW but analyzing the light, etc.

Here's some links with nuggets of wisdom on "image making”.

Patjane uses a super wide angle lens on a 1” sensor compact camera shooting only ambient light.

Needless to say I think Anwar Patjane Floriuk’s images are wonderful
Enjoy

Granted he's chosen his style as ambient B&W shooting but his creations are stunning and I can only hope to achieve such underwater photos!

I'll continue to travel and dive and shoot although I keep less and less images these days. Being a brutal editor I think is a major component of photography.
