Underwater/Overwater

I was chatting to Morag yesterday about underwater photos, including one she'd seen at the Edinburgh Science Festival that featured a shot of a shark underwater and a nearby island above the water. Anyway, this reminded me of a series of photos by Neil Craver featured in JPG a couple of months ago, particularly the one here. There are more otherworldly under/overwater shots from the series on his blog.

Edit: Morag has tracked down the actual shark photo in question which is by Alexander Mustard and is the second photo in this gallery (it's a basking shark - they're terribly cute).

    Don't know how to link directly to the individual image, sorry!

    Also never did manage to figure out how he did it...

    is "cool" better" than "interesting"? If yes i'll change my vote ;)

  4. It's not so much better as more "hip" ;-) "Interesting" is possibly more "serious" - kind of hard to say!
