The under-water album from Lembeh 2014 is now available. Enjoy! A new feature is that we have started to publish pictures that are only available by Search, e.g., a search for nudibranch will show more pictures of nudibranch than shown in the albums.

Nordic Championship in Underwater Photography


Nordic Championship in Underwater Photography
The 2010 competition is now <a href="http://iof3.idrottonline.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_23139/cf_104/NM-i-UV-foto%202010.pdf">settled</a>. My first time competing in NM; came 12'th of 37 competitors. Quite OK. This picture (previously published here) achieved 3'rd place in the 'pool' cathegory. This year the judges actually selected pictures as announced, i.e., "fresh new thinking", which I hadn't quit trusted when I selected my pictures. Well done judges! Other pictures with reasonable scores include <a href= "../pictures/2479">another pool picture</a> and <a href="../pictures/2419">the isopod"</a></ br>/Bo

Wrecks in Narvik harbour


Wrecks in Narvik harbour
The album from Aqualund's wreck-diving trip to Narvik, Norway, is now published. The air temperature was around zero centigrade while the water was 8°C. We managed 10 one-hour dives in 5 days being quite comfortable thanks to a lot of under-garments. We dove the ore cargo ships Neuenfels, Stråssa, Fisser and Romanby, and the destroyers Hermann Kunne, Wilhelm Heidkamp and Anton Schmitt.

In the cleft


In the cleft
A new album with UW pictures from Sweden. The album contains our pictures from the Swedish Championship in UW photography, and pictures from our training session in Smögen before the competition. In Smögen we finally understood the techique to capture wide angle pictures in bad visibility, as this picture shows. Unfortunately, we were not able to repeat the concept at the competition. There you go!

Gold medal in the Theme-class 'Surface'


Gold medal in the Theme-class 'Surface'
This picture earned us First Place in the Theme-class 'Surface' in the Swedish Championship i UW photography 2010 this weekend. We didn't fare as well in the other classes 'wide angle' and 'macro' and we finished as #6 among the 11 finalists. Congratulations to our club mates in Aqualund, Ronnie &amp; Maria, who became Swedish Champions this year! The competition was held in Hamburgsund under rather bad weather conditions with hard winds and silty water. <br /><br />We will soon publish other pictures from our dive vacation on the Swedish west coast.

The mouth of a Sea-anemone
The end of 2009 is fast approaching and there will probably be only one more dive (the traditional New Year's Eve splash at Ön). So its appropriate to summarise by a new album of UW pictures from Sweden. Actually, its a summary of two years during which Steina has become quite active behind the camera. This beaty is by her making.

This particular photo didn't earn us many points, but we like it anyway. We finished at 8th place. We are not pleased but the placement is fair. Congratulations to <a href="http://www.fotosidan.se/member/view.htm?ID=25720">Jonna Bergström</a>, a fellow member of <a href="http://www.backscatter.se/">BIFF</a>, who is now the 2009 Swedish Champion of UW photography!

This weekend we dived in Ransvik at Kullen in Skåne. This picture of <i>Gobiusculus flavescens</i>, a common cold-water goby at about 3-4 cm length, was taken with my new Nikkor 60 mm macro lens that allows me to get close enough (fishes permitting) to avoid too much water between the object and the lens.
