This photo was taken on my first time to hawaii. Taking photos with these turtle is so far the best part of my lifeTime
This picture took a long time to get. At my resort turtles would occasionally come by and i would just sit in the water with my camera ready waiting for a turtle to come byLighting
I originally planned on being able to see the turtles head when it surface but with the waves it was pretty difficult to line my dome up perfectly.Equipment
This photo was shot with my GoPro Hero 4 with a KNEKT dome portInspiration
One of my favorite ocean photogrphers is clarklittle. Ever since I saw his turtle pictures i was dying to go to hawaii and get some of my ownEditing
I didnt do much in this case because it was so close to the surface. I only fixed the blue color of the water.In my camera bag
Most of the time in my bag i will keep a normal camera and a tripod. Unless im going to the beach then i bring my gopro and a bunch of batteriesFeedback
When i was trying to capture the sea turtles i would just sit and wait for a turtle to come about. Then i would just follow the sea turtles taking a bunch of pictures. When it comes time to edit there is no doubt that you will have some awesome shots
