Camera Phone Filters have become very popular and Orphek has reconized this with the introduction of their new Optical Filter Glass Lens [...]
One of the corals I shoot the most isn't really a coral at all. I imagine most folks reading this are familiar with the Millepora genus, but I suspect most of my fellow divers think it's just another coral. The Millepora dichotoma in the image above has a passing resemblance to Turbinaria, so [...]
