Two years ago, Jifa, aka Jean-Francois Avenier, seemed to have serious eardrum problems. As he could not equalize the pressure, he had to stay at the surface all the time - which greatly limited his photography.
Now, with silicone earcaps attached to his mask, and some expert advice from top freediver William Winram, Jifa finally managed to go down to 7-8 meters - and take real underwater photographs, not underwater images shot slightly below the surface.
He sent me the above picture with a laconic comment: "Better than nothing".
C'mon, Jifa, I know that despite being a hard-core Parisian you are modest, but you don't have to be that modest...
I think this is a fantastic shot!
What pleases me even more about this pic is that you took it with your good ol' Nikonos V, soul bro!!
