您是否曾经考虑过水下景观，或者更好的是珊瑚礁？
礁石延伸到眼睛所能看到的。它包括海绵，杂草，珊瑚和小动物，但更重要的是，它包括海底的山丘，山谷，墙壁和其他物理特征。
When it comes to underwater photography I’m on the lookout for individual珊瑚殖民地,most of which are less than a meter wide. But sometimes an epic dive comes along that makes you take a step, or rather a fin back, and appreciate how larger-than-life the ocean can be.
Tela’s Reefscape
While diving in Tela Honduras, I found a reef that warrants epic reefscape statues. I found myself floating high above the never ending coral reef. I knew the only way to capture the essence of a reef was a wide angle reefscape shot.
A typical dive profile in Tela starts with coral ridges between 12m-14m (40-45 feet) deep with sandy valleys between ridges down to 18m (60 feet). The top of the ridges are inundates with lettuce coral (Undaria Tenuafolia) while ridges are covered in brightly colored cactus corals (肉芽植）。
Scuba diving in Tela is a privileged sport. The coral reef is relatively unexplored and there is only one active潜水商店for the entire 38km bay.
在TELA中潜水仅限于4月至9月之间的夏季，或者在任一端花费一个月。冬季的强劲电流和较低的可见度限制了Tela的潜水季节。
在Tela中脱颖而出的功能之一是礁石时代。跳入水中，感觉就像是从海盗船上跳下来。珊瑚就是那个古老的。这就是导致Tela中珊瑚礁的宏伟量表的原因。
Strength In Numbers
在Tela中，珊瑚息肉采取了数量的力量，以雕刻并保持其在礁石上的地位，从而创造出大型珊瑚殖民地。星珊瑚的较大殖民地之一（Orbicella faveolata) is estimated to be living in this bay before Columbus arrived in Honduras, and my guess is they could be even older than that.
We wouldn’t be exaggerating to say some parts of the reef have over 100% coral coverage, as everywhere you look in Tela corals are in competition with each other for space.
为了真正欣赏这个礁石，我们必须深呼吸并至少高出礁石，然后才能获得这个史诗般的礁石的真实视角。经过几次潜水，我们很快意识到，我们的礁石景观照片是环境中最引人注目的和代表的。
Although the visibility was limited to 30 feet (10+ meters), after a bit of post production our photographs turned out better than expected and we developed a few simple tips for taking these large scale reef shots.
Reefscape Photography
To capture the reef we are using a simple point and shot camera, Nikon Coolpix FP7100 with a Fantasea housing and wide angel lens. At this hight and scale it is fairly pointless to use external lighting as this would mostly cause backscatter in the water column and fail to cover the entire scene.
Instead we took advantage of the nature light illuminating this shallow reef. We used a low aperture setting between f2.8 and f4.5. and adjusted the shutter speed as needed. Most of the shots were between 1/60 and 1/200 We kept the photo slightly underexposed in the camera opting to add exposure in post. We kept the ISO at 100 for all photos.
Our workflow in Lightroom to edit the images was fairly simple. I started by adjusting the white balance and tweaking the highlights, exposure, and shadows. We let the reef do the talking and just tried to bring back a natural feel.
Tela中的每个人都对这些广角礁的镜头感到惊讶，但是说实话，很难为这张照片所做的出色的珊瑚礁归功于完成所有工作的照片，我只点击了一个按钮！
The coral reef in Tela is a time capsule of how Caribbean reefs once were, and to capture the essence of this reef you have to fly above to take-in the epic scale.
下次您前往礁石上几米的潜水游泳并进行一些宽阔的天使礁射击。这些图像可以在您的潜水相册中添加上下文和深度，并且只需在摄像机自然光中操纵一些手动设置即可获得令人叹为观止的礁石拍摄所需的全部。
