scrawled the following:

How does he get the series of shots off fast enough to do the HDR's?

His camera shoots at 9FPS to high-speed compact flash memory.
Here's a review of the D-3 drool: http://fwd4.me/BGm
(I love my D-40, though.)

Whassa "HDR"?


There's no way that's natural colour.

You might be surprised. I've been a water baby since I was 2 and have
seen all sorts of water colors in streams, creeks, rivers, pools, and
oceans. Silt brings lots of brownish hues to the water. Hawaii has
lots of different corals reflecting their coloration into the water,
too. It had the widest array of water colors I've ever seen. I've
visited there 3 times now. The ocean there is tepid, about 85F. VERY
different from the frigid Left Coast waters, and a nice change.

Then again, he might enhance the color with Photoshop. Most
photographers are purists, though, and wouldn't do that on a bet. Ask
him if he does that...if you dare.
