Hi Everybody,

I am very pleased to have the cover of tauchen Magazine
- Europe’s largest dive magazine - this month with a picture of a big
Tiger Shark.  Feedback - good or bad is highly appreciated. Enclosed
is the original photo that came out of my camera.

Hope to read you soon .oOo. Andi

The final cover arrangement is visible here. click it!

I notice they photoshopped the Seawhips to be red ...

good job though Andi .. it is a nice cover shot with lots
of space for the editor to put his text in and around.

congratulations.

I am interested in that slow shutter speed though.
What effect were you going for ?

Hi Giles, I am glad you like it!

The slow shutter was intended to give me some more
motion into the frame. Actually I slightly panned the
camera while I followed the shark. You can see a small
halo effect on left from the animal in the original photo.

Second effect resulting from this is a blurry water surface in
the background. I felt this looks more arty than the usual
crisp shot, but was not sure if the editors would like it.

Cheers, Andi

PS: I actually was composing for a potential cover

Nice job Andi, great shot.

And I can also tell you I am happy that this thread is not about Ms. Spears and K-Fed - only this part of the Topic Title “Ooops,.. I did it again” appears on the home page - but I guess you knew that
