This what spatterdock, a kind of water lily, looks like from below the waterline. This image was made with a Nikon D750 in waterproof Ikelite housing on the Rock Springs run near Apopka Florida. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #springs #ikelite #nikon

Swimming with the bass hybrids in Silver Glen Springs near Ocala Florida. This image was made a few years ago with a Nikon D750 in Ikelite housing. I slowly swam through them and made both images and video. #bass #underwater #ikelite #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Ever swam in an aquarium? That's what it feels like to swim in a North Florida freshwater spring. #photography #underwaterphotography #ikelite #springs #EastCoastKin #snorkel

For this #Stunday #infrared image, I stood in shoulder high spring water and marveled at the scene in front of me. My #Nikon camera was safe in #Ikelite housing. This is the spring run at Gilchrist Blue Springs near High Springs Florida. #photography #landscapephotography #ir #EastCoastKin

For #BlueskyMonday, I hope a blue water spring will be acceptable. These springs in Central Florida sure are a nice shade of blue. #photography #landscapephotography #longexposure #springs #EastCoastKin #snorkel #underwaterphotography #ikelite

This is another image similar to the image I posted yesterday. This time, I'm farther down the narrower spring run still in shoulder deep water. Nikon D750 full spectrum conversion in Ikelite housing and 720nm infrared filter. #photography #landscapephotography #ir #infrared #EastCoastKin

Summertime colors. This is eelgrass and red ludwigia, photographed in the Gilchrist Blue Springs run when swimming was allowed back in 2018. I used a Nikon D750 in Ikelite housing. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #snorkeling #springs

Underwater Life. This image was made in a crystal clear spring in the Florida Panhandle (undisclosed location) with a Nikon D750 in Ikelite housing. The colors are so vivid. The red plant is Ludwigia repens, a primrose. #photography #landscapephotography #underwaterphotography #EastCoastKin

I very much enjoy underwater photography, especially in our crystal clear artesian springs in North Florida. It's like swimming in an aquarium. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #snorkeling #springs #ikelite

More underwater shenanigans with @waterpiskie (Instagram) in the #riverdart on #dartmoor ... shooting with #sonyrx100 and #ikelite waterproof camera housing 😍

The theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow is running/flowing water. This crystal clear spring water in the Gilchrist Blue Springs run was running and flowing right around me. Nikon D750 in Ikelite waterproof housing. #photography #landscapephotography #underwaterphotography #ikelite #snorkel

Over and under shots are always fun when snorkeling with my underwater gear. Especially in the crystal clear freshwater springs of North Florida. This beautiful native is Ludwigia repens, a kind of primrose. #photography #underwaterphotography #ikelite #springs #EastCoastKin #snorkel

For #RedWed and #ColorADay, the red in this underwater image is red ludwigia (Ludwigia repens), a stunning submersed aquatic plant. It is common in our freshwater springs in Florida and so beautiful. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #ikelite #snorkeling #springs

It's #BlueSkyArtShow day. This underwater garden of red ludwigia (Ludwigia repens) was photographed at Blue Springs State Park before it was a state park. That boardwalk is long since gone. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #ikelite #springs

This is an #underwater #scape. It was made in a spring that no longer allows snorkeling so that the underwater vegetation is preserved. I agree with that decision but sure miss swimming in this spring. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #springs #underwaterphotography #ikelite

I love being underwater in a clear freshwater spring. It's like swimming in an aquarium. The red plant is red ludwigia, a kind of primrose. It's stunning under the waterline. I used a Nikon D750 in Ikelite housing for this image. #photography #landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #snorkel

Today's #ColorADay theme is #RedWed, anything red. This is Ludwigia repens, a stunning type of primrose that grows submersed in our #springs in North #Florida. I made this image years ago while snorkeling in my favorite spring. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #underwaterphotography #Ikelite

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme today is #vibrant. I see vibrancy underwater all the time. This image was made in Rock Springs in Central Florida with a #Nikon D750 in #Ikelite housing. #photography #landscape #underwaterphotography #springs #EastCoastKin #snorkel

Under the water with #infrared. I used my full spectrum camera in #Ikelite housing with a 720nm filter. Infrared light only penetrates a couple feet under water so I had to stay close to the surface. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #fullspectrum #720hm #underwaterphotography #springs #bnw

This is what Naked Springs looks like below the waterline. For underwater photography, I use a Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 20mm f1.8 lens in Ikelite housing. The water is a constant 70 degrees all year long. #photography #underwaterphotography #springs #snorkel #snorkeling

I'm not much of a videographer, but my Nikon D750 does a good job in Ikelite housing. This is unedited except by the camera's firmware. Not much editing is needed given the vibrancy of this spring in the Florida Panhandle (location not disclosed). #springs #EastCoastKin

One of my favorite obscure camera accessories

Underwater housing for the Polaroid SX-70 by Ikelite, produced in the 1970s

That little compartment in the front for pictures is so cool

When I'm told to think of my "happy place," it's always places like this - a healthy reef at Oospunt, Curaçao. #scuba #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #coralreef #reef #oostpunt #curacao #curaçao #ikelite #reefscape #marinelife
