In August 2003 I travelled from the south
of France where I live to an island 36 hours sailing south
west of Costa Rica called Isla del Coco for one thing and
one thing only: to dive with hammerhead sharks. As usual,
this was greeted with comments like: you are nuts, crazy,
mad, fou, etc by my friends.
But I went there and got to dive with the famed hammerheads
and much more. You can read a trip report here if you are
interested.
All photos were taken with the following set-up: Olympus
C5050,Olympus PT-015 housing. All my underwater shots are
taken in RAW format, using program metering and for the most
part were shot in available light with a UR/Pro filter.
Processing consisted of white balance in Adobe Camera
Raw, then working on levels, colours and contrast in
Photoshop Elements.
