These alternative colorspaces are able to represent many more colors (especially ProPhoto RGB) than the standard sRGB colorspace. This makes them the preferred choice for photographers when working with digital photos. Unfortunately, most browsers cannot display colorspaces other than sRGB. Colors outside of sRGB's range are simply dropped by web browsers. For this reason, several photos on our site may have appeared muted, desaturated and/or darker. Many older photos will now show-up as new since they were converted to the sRGB colorspace. Actual new photos, from our last trip to Bonaire in May 2005, should be posted shortly. We have several outstanding shots that we plan... 186@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=186 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/iridescent-caribbean-reef-squid.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 20:28:56 -0500 On the afternoon of May 13th 2004, Melanie, Eric and I dove the Salt Pier in Bonaire. We opted for a simple dive profile - out from the shore to the central pier, then north to the neighboring pier, then back along the same route. The visibility was a little worse than usual, so extra care had to be taken with substrobe placement. The dive was fairly un-eventful, until we headed back to shore from the central pier... 157@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=157 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/update-on-petries-pillar-for-2004.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:39:35 -0500 The common description of Petrie's Pillar goes something like: "A shore dive for the beginner, with moderate currents and an average depth of 30-100 feet. The terrain is much like Andrea I and II. Large stands of Pillar Coral are found in the shallows along with schools of Blue Tangs. This site was named by Capt. Don as a wedding present for a friend." If you believe this description, you're likely to abort the dive before setting foot in the water!... 144@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=144 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/travel-bonaire/under-the-salt-pier.html Travel : Bonaire Mon, 19 Jul 2004 18:39:30 -0500 We arrived late Saturday night on Bonaire, did some grocery shopping, etc. on Sunday, and started diving on Monday morning. On our second dive, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't equalize no matter how hard I tried. The cold symptoms hit hard that night, and I would be unable to dive for the next 3 days. Once I could equalize again, I took some decongestant and we tried a very conservative dive profile from the hotel's pier. My ears cleared up quickly over the next few days, but my sinuses took a little longer... 143@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=143 CrossBlog Posting MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/yellowline-arrow-crab-in-branching-vase-sponge.html Photography : Stock Photos Tue, 02 Dec 2003 01:25:46 -0500 33@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=33 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/longlure-frogfish-and-friends.html Photography : Stock Photos Tue, 25 Nov 2003 19:44:52 -0500 32@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=32 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/photographer-on-stern-of-hilma-hooker.html Photography : Stock Photos Mon, 17 Nov 2003 21:48:03 -0500 31@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=31 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/a-spotted-cleaner-shrimp-and-caribbean-reef-octopus.html Photography : Stock Photos Fri, 14 Nov 2003 17:31:30 -0500 These cleaner shrimp often perch on the tentacles of an anemone, swaying their body and antennae to attract fish. The Spotted Cleaner Shrimps [Periclimenes yucatanicus] live in association with a variety of anemones, including the Giant Anemone seen here. I took this picture on our last dive, in the shallows at Tori's Reef in Bonaire. There was a strong surge, which made getting this little shrimp in focus quite difficult. The Caribean Reef Octopus [Octopus briareus] inhabites coral reefs, residing in recesses or sponges during the day. It can be found in the open on reefs at night hunting for food, often spreading itself in a distinctive parachute pattern to attack and engulf prey. This one, found on the... 29@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=29 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/young-tiger-grouper-at-cleaning-station.html Photography : Stock Photos Fri, 14 Nov 2003 17:26:51 -0500 28@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=28 Jean-Sebastien Morisset MVPix News : Photography : Stock Photos Category http://www.mvpix.com/news/archives/photography-stock-photos/honeycomb-cowfish-with-black-sea-rod.html Photography : Stock Photos Fri, 14 Nov 2003 16:55:31 -0500 27@http://www.mvpix.com/news/ http://www.mvpix.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-post.cgi?entry_id=27 Jean-Sebastien Morisset
