Scubaverse UWP Winners Gallery: Bill Passmore

Published

on

Each month we give the winner of the Scubaverse Underwater Photography competition the opportunity to show off a little more of their work in a gallery. The May winner was Bill Passmore and you can see his winning image at the top of this page.


What do you love about diving & underwater photography?

I love the peacefulness and the chance to see, and share, a world that so many people never get to experience.  The wonder of the ocean is truly incredible.

The band “America” wrote that the “ocean is a desert with it’s life underground and the perfect disguise above.”   Here, in the Dominican Republic, that is so very true.  Through my photos I hope to be able to help educate people that a unique world exists under the water and we need to be the guardians of that world.

There is nothing that compares with someone seeing the beauty of nature for the first time, and I love the smiles that those bring to everyone’s faces.

What equipment do you use?

My macro setup is a Canon SL2 with a Canon 60 mm prime macro lens in an Ikelite housing and dual Ikelite DS 160 strobes.  For the really close subjects I add an INON UCL 165 M67 diopter.

Wide angle I use a Canon 5D Mk2 with a Sigma 15mm rectangular fisheye lens in an Ikelite housing.  For lighting I use the dual Ikelite DS 160 strobes.

Where can our readers see more of your work?
