Underwater Photography – Reflections

Underwater photography around the Isle of Skye - Reflections.

Below the Skye Line is a joint project between photographer/diver, Gill Williams, and photographer/non-diver, Geraint Ashton Jones.  We both live on Skye, both love the environment and both wanted to capture some of the superb natural environment found in the waters that are on and surround the Isle of Skye.

Now well in to the second year of the underwater photography project we are approaching 400 images available on line.  For this post I have put together a small creation called 'Reflections'

To see all the images we have created then please click on the link below.

Jellyfish are frequent in the waters around the Isle of Skye and for many who venture into the water they are a creature that is feared.  However they have a striking beauty and the underwater camera easily captures this.  When they are close to the surface there is an opportunity for the photography to highlight both the colour and the form of these wonderful and mis understood inhabitants of our waters.

Reflections in Loch Shiante, a freshwater loch on the Isle of Skye

Loch Shiante is a beautiful fresh water loch on the Isle of Skye.  Its crystal clear waters are ideal for underwater photography and as the surface is often calm it is also a good spot for creating images involving reflections.
