@viniciusvardiero Thanks, Glad you like it, I guess the previous guy is much beter than me...  But I strive to make photos that do not suck :)

It has come to my mind later on but work with different backgrounds would of course make it easier. If, as you say, the point is the sub, it could maybe be interesting to point out different aspects of the vessel; the crew and the type of missions. It all depends how deep your interest is, just the shots or also the technical approach. I wouldn't mind take pictures of the sub, as it is a niece piece. Have you ever thought to shoot bigger, rescue subs?

@ALB437 I have thought of a lot of neat stuff but gaining access and permission is dificult. Also, I can not travel all over the country shooting these as it is hard financially to go to different locations, I wuld love to shoot a rescue sub with the NAVY or shoot an historical sub like the Alvin from Woods hole institute. It all comes down to money and access. These are sort of "Left Handed" shots for me. Inbetween my regular job, deadlines, mortgage, wife, house etc. etc. etc...

It's a perfect idea. I do have similar projets but do not have your experience. However I am trying to seize my ideas and get closer, either with a software or some lighting. The big problem is to find an opportunity to shoot the objects (technology) I am interested in. In your case it would be nice to have the sub at different places, but maybe due to the weight difficult to realize in terms of transport and cost.

@ALB437 Hi: Thanks for that. It took some time to refine the ideas for the series of shots... . The logistics are so very dificult to get every body and the sub together and do it again in a new location, it would be repetative and the idea is the sub. Changing backgrounds will not change the concept too much . Remember all these folks are working for free as volunteers so it is a challenge to pull it off at all really.

Jacques Piccard (1922-2008 - Switzerland) was the builder of the "Mésocaphe", a tourist submarine, attraction for the Swiss National Exibition in 1964. It's not yesterday, but I think the sub has been used during years in Florida afterwards. Weight: 160tonnes, speed: 5knots, max.depth:800m, lenght:28m, capacity:40. Can be seen at the "Transport Museum Luzern-CH since 2005. In 1988 he's also built a prototype (PX-44) with a capacity of 16+ 2crew. Have never seen any other tourist sub.
