Welcome to the website of colorado nature photographer charles whiting.

For years I lived on the Southeast Florida coast where my wife Lynn and I studied

and photographed the reefs and wrecks from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale.

We did most of our diving on a stunning reef line from Boynton Beach south to

Delray Beach. We also frequented the Upper Florida Keys, with its famous wrecks

and pristine reefs. Read more www.charleswhitingphotography.com

We make annual pilgrimages to “bluewater” destinations. In the past those tripshave taken us to locations in the Bahamasincluding the alluring blue holes at the CaySal Banks, the Exuma Cays, and theNorthwest Bahamas area that includes CatCay, Port Lucaya and Bimini. We have alsovisited the Cayman Islands and thespectacular Bloody Bay Wall. In April, 2007,I spent several days diving on the famous“Nuclear Fleet,” at Bikini Atoll in theMarshall Islands.

The coral reef and oceanscapephotographs you'll see here are from thoselocations.

When I relocated to Denver Colorado in2009, landscape photography became anexciting and challenging new area of studyfor me.

Most of the underwaterphotographs in the galleries weretaken with a Canon digital SLRcamera in an Ikelite underwaterhousing, using Ikelite DS-50, DS-125, and DS-160 TTL strobesystems. Some of thephotographs were taken with aNikonos V amphibious camera,Nikon SB-105 strobe, andFugichrome Velvia 50 slide film.
