These underwater photos are insane. Pat Clayton is the man.

Well done.

Great shots indeed. Not an easy thing to do, getting good underwater photography...

That is some pretty awesome photography! He must have some real high dollar equipment to capture underwater photos like that.

the pictures are one thing, finding the fish another....

Professional photographers pretty much agree that the camera/lens adds at most 10% to a good photograph. Just as a good rod won't make you a good caster/fisherman, a good camera does not make you a good photographer. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not being critical, just giving credit where credit is due.

While that's generally true of photgraphy, it pretty much takes a good amount of cash to do underwater shots no matter what. There just isn't really any good budget stuff out there that can do it at a pro level.

I wonder if he sells any of theses? Would be awesome to hang one of these pictures up in the house.

Those are great photos! I have tried to take underwater pics with a little waterproof point-and-shoot, but they never come out very well.

Years ago I had the opportunity to do a couple of night dives in Hawaii with a remarkable underwater photographer, Josh Lambus. He had a pretty elaborate camera with various things sticking out of it (lights and stuff I guess). In addition to that he has long dreadlocks that look like a big octopus on his head. He gets some great photos, though typically not game fish:

I've played around with taking underwater pics with a GoPro Hero5, most of them aren't very good, lots of grain, not sure what causes that, but my best one turned out pretty good:

Great picture!

 

[mcnerney]

Great picture!

Thanks! If I take twenty underwater photos, I might get one that isn't all grainy, not sure what causes that, but I don't have expensive cameras like the pros have.
