This is an attempt made to capture the line of greens dominated with coconut trees from waters of Nilwella. Image is taken as a split-level yet there is nothing much to be seen beneath the sea. Anyhow, aqua color of water glittered with strong equatorial sunlight makes it a beautiful pattern. Wavy line between water and land is the limelight.
This image is from Nilwella Underwater Gallery at Tangalle. These man made sculpts are yet to be fully occupied by marine life. Anyway, this collection of artistic installations are full of abstract beauty as is. Attempt was made to grasp a different view point. Colors and light were controlled accordingly.
Probably, this photo may not take any attention. Yet, from my point, this is an attempt to capture something different. Here we can see a school of fish circling top on a wreckage. Capturing this kind of fishes is tricky. Unless all the fishes are going in the same speed, shutter speed may not be sufficient enough. In this case, you may notice some fish are clear, some are just shown as white stripes. Please notice the wave lines on the sand as well. Though it is not perfect, I am pleased with overall sense give by the image.
Divers love exploring ship wrecks mainly due to the abundance of life they usually find within them. Yet, some like shipwrecks because it gives you the sense of connection with the history of the ship and its story. This is a photo I took of Nilwella wreck that illustrates the rustic remaining as is now. Wreck enthusiasts, like me, can admire this kind of image since for us its not merely a junk but a living artifacts of a real history.
