Andrea Ferrari Taking a really striking underwater photo using 50 ISO film and a 36 images roll used to be real fun - and a challenge! Tell that to today's spoilt generation of digital shooting - they'll never believe you LOL :D. Platax pinnatus baby in front of soft coral, Nudie Falls, Lembeh, Indonesia. More great images on our free online magazine at www.animamundimag.com - enjoy!

Andrea Ferrari Well, to be honest I liked the challenge of film better, at least regarding UW photography - but yes, digital made everything so much easier, especially when working in a rainforest as I often do today ;-)
