Kinderdijk


Kinderdijk, originally uploaded by Eric Burgers.

It is really weird: I go through a lot of trouble to get proper underwater images, and nobody seems to react or like them. Then I take a picture which is basically a cliche in the Netherlands (yep, windmills, the only things missing are a farmer and his wife on wooden shoes, and add a few cows on the background) and everybody suddenly likes the work.

Taking underwater pictures is highly under appreciated! (sigh)

Entering the Arch


Entering the Arch, originally uploaded by Eric Burgers.

The exit (@ -200 feet) to the open sea from the Blue Hole at Dahab. Of course there are no colours left (only blue) en strobes are useless if you look at the size of the Arch. (10-20 mm W/A)

Broke a new (depth) record here. You do not have to go much deeper than this to meet the grim reeper.

Spring is here again. Animal life is emerging everywhere, and new things to discover. Diving season is open!

Icy salto

Having fun under the ice - like trying to stand up (down?) inverted in a dry suit.

I now have the ice dive specialty! Progressing towards technical diving.

My photostream dried up the last few months, but that had a good reason.

Little planets - always fun to make. This is my first and it works for me!

Red is red is red - revisited


Red is red is red - revisited, originally uploaded by uw-eric.

Calibrated my screen with a Spyder 3 Pro. Conclusion: It really makes a difference! I may have to (re)edit most of my previous work. Lots of (uw) pics are too dark and have a bit too much contrast & saturation.
