Masa Ushioda, Dancing with Whales

I was out in Hawaii last week and spent some time with Masa Ushioda, who has one of the best stock libraries of pelagic and blue-water animals around.  He has a beautiful spread of humpback whales in the latest issue of Nature’s Best Magazine, which you should check out the next time you’re in a bookstore.

All of the whale photos were taken with a Canon D60 in a Sea & Sea housing.  One of the 2-page spreads features two whales in it—one on each page.  Don’t let the layout fool you: although it looks like two separate photos because one whale fits perfectly into each opposing page, but it’s really one, amazing frame.

Wetpixel POTW Contest

Hello, guys.  A quick reminder: the POTW contest still exists!  The new format will allow us to eventually switch to a picture of the day format, instead of only allowing for pictures of the week.  Ideally, we’ll run the contest like they do over at Steve’s Digicams, with monthly voting from POTD winners.

Please check out the new POTW page to see how to enter.  For now, we have no themes, but we’ll figure out how to get them in the contest in the future!

New Wetpixel Design!

Welcome to the new Wetpixel.com!  Over the past few years, Wetpixel has grown from a basic news listing site into the premier online resource for underwater digital photography.  Our community of registered members is over 3,000 strong, and we have many times that number in regular, anonymous visitors.

The new design is based on an advanced, multi-blog engine, which will allow us to participate more in the main content areas of the site.  More importantly, it is now very easy to browse back in time through our archives.  Wetpixel even has RSS and Atom feeds now, so you don’t have to manually check our front page to look for new content.
