2. For years I lived on the Southeast Florida coast where my wife Lynn and I studied
and photographed the reefs and wrecks from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale.
We did most of our diving on a stunning reef line from Boynton Beach south to
Delray Beach. We also frequented the Upper Florida Keys, with its famous wrecks
and pristine reefs. Read more www.charleswhitingphotography.com

3. We make annual pilgrimages to “blue
water” destinations. In the past those trips
have taken us to locations in the Bahamas
including the alluring blue holes at the Cay
Sal Banks, the Exuma Cays, and the
Northwest Bahamas area that includes Cat
Cay, Port Lucaya and Bimini. We have also
visited the Cayman Islands and the
spectacular Bloody Bay Wall. In April, 2007,
I spent several days diving on the famous
“Nuclear Fleet,” at Bikini Atoll in the
Marshall Islands.
The coral reef and oceanscape
photographs you'll see here are from those
locations.
When I relocated to Denver Colorado in
2009, landscape photography became an
exciting and challenging new area of study
for me.

4. Equipment and Workflow
Most of the underwater
photographs in the galleries were
taken with a Canon digital SLR
camera in an Ikelite underwater
housing, using Ikelite DS-50, DS-
125, and DS-160 TTL strobe
systems. Some of the
photographs were taken with a
Nikonos V amphibious camera,
Nikon SB-105 strobe, and
Fugichrome Velvia 50 slide film.
Since 2011, I've been using a
Canon 7D in an Ikelite housing
with Ikelite DS-160 strobes. For
underwater photography at
night, I use a Light and Motion
SOLA Photo 500 Lumen framing
light.
