Underwater Picture Sales

Wow, it has really hit me hard. I thought that I had a great product for sale, underwater pictures. But it looks like no one is buying.

People are more into the looking than purchasing. I look at them as not just pictures of fish and coral but an educational piece. You see two fish. I see a pair of Spot-fin butterfly fish or Chaetyon Ocellatus. Clearly named after the black spot on the tip of the dorsal fin, note that the Eye spot is camouflaged by the black stripe hat runs up and down along the body of the fish. It is thought that this coloration may confuse potential predators from knowing what is the front of the fish, making capture of the fish as prey more difficult! The large dorsal, anal and tail fin, when coupled with the very flat nature of the fish’s body create a large paddle surface and allow the fish to move quickly into the safety of the reef if threatened.

Looking Up by William B. Tomanek

My #1 Underwater Picture
This picture was taken in one of the many SCUBA diving springs in Florida. This dive spring is called the “Blue Grotto” and is visited by SCUBA divers from around the world.
As I was ascending upon the completion of our dive, this distorted image of the shoreline caught my attention. So while I was waiting for the other divers to get out of the water, I lay back and snapped a few pictures. This is not an easy task. Flipped upside down and looking up, I had to hold my breath to keep all my bubbles from getting in the way. Then while holding my breath and flipped upside down, I had a tendency to sink. 

This is what I saw, and this is what I shot.

Not Cards, Underwater Pictures

Wow did I have a brain storm.


Part one. Note cards are here. This past week I have put together a piece of the Tomanek Collection underwater pictures "Life Below Sea Level" and a few pictures from above sea level.

These underwater Note Cards are one of a kind. Showing what life really looks like below sea level. Unlike your everyday note cards these are unique underwater pictures of Fish, Corals, Sponges and boat wrecks.
NOTE CARD: is printed on A-2 glossy card (5.5W x 4.25H) when folded and comes with envelope. These cards are selling for $3 each. If you would like to purchase more than 5, please let me know.

Part II. What if I created the largest collection of underwater note cards with your HELP? Now how could I do this? If other divers provided me 10 of your top photo to create a note card with, I coud create a huge collection of Note Cards. You give me permission to use your print on the note card, I add your name and web address to the back of the card. I will also create a web page within my site that will didplay your note cards for people to purchase.This page can contain you photo and display the information you would like the viewer to know about you and the set of pictures you donated to the site. You do not receive any money from the sale of the note cards.
