Photos/Movies from Lighthouse Reef, Belize on-line

I spent 3-4 months this winter at Lighthouse Reef in Belize aboard my
sailboat. We dove on average 2 times a day. I had just replaced my Se & Sea
film camera with an Olympus C-8080 digital camera and spent the majority of
my dives recording the marine life there.

If you've never been to the atolls off of Belize, mark them on your must-
see list for diving. I've dove most of the Caribbean, and imho the atolls
of Belize rank tops in my list, with only Bonaire being in the same
ranking. I will say that I haven't made it to the Caymans...yet...

On my web site you'll find over 125 species of fish, 60+ creatures, 50 some
types of coral, sponges, etc, etc. I've also placed some movies that I've
finally been able to edit (probably requires a broadband connection to
realistically view). I've tried to make sure that my identification is
correct, but if you find an error, please let me know.

The web site is located at http://www.GeoffSchultz.org/ and you can find
the photos by clicking on the Photos button and then going into either
"2005 Sailing" or "Diving Photos Master Index."

I hope that you find this enjoyable and/or useful!

I liked the dentist pictures. Can anyone go down there and work on teeth or
do you have to be a real dentist?

Nice photos, thanks for sharing them. I especially enjoyed the
Guatamala village photos.

Randy,

Thanks for the suggestion, but your solution only stops the most basic
of image thiefs. If I view the source code I can see the path for the
image and simply paste that into the browser.

For example, in your Fish Gallery you have an image of a school of Fairy
Basslets. If I view the source I see that the image is located at
"Fish/fish020.jpg" so I pasted that into
"http://www.randallgamby.com/Fish/fish020.jpg" and I can see your image
and save it onto my hard drive. Just thought that you'd want to know.

Hi,

Thanks Geoff. Guess I should do some further testing. At least, like you
said,
it keeps basic image thieves from taking the pictures :O)

The pictures I post are in such a small format that they will not be
any good to anyone for any kind of commercial use. They are reduced
to 500x500 pixels.

Or you can look for it in your Temporary Internet Files directory, or
whatever the equivalent is on your computer.

That's kind of what I do by default. My mom not only is still on
dial-up but she doesn't "do" attachments (she's almost 96) and she is
still on aol. I don't know whether it is worth it to her to move to
DSL and another ISP although she's pretty sharp still.

So I put all my photos on the Virtual Tourist website which reduces
them all to 500x500 size or the equivalent. These are OK for computer
viewing, but not for much else.

I have had someone take my pictures and use them for their own journal
on the internet without mentioning that they had done so or asking for
permission. I had given them some photos that I took of their boat
(and Bob gave them a cable TV antenna wire because they didn't have
one), and I guess they thought anything of mine was fair game.

I found this out because I was interested in how they were doing and
went and read their journal and I recognized my picture (which was of
a shrimp boat in Georgia). I wasn't sure what to do about it, and in
the end I didn't do anything. Because I would have given them
permission had they asked although I would have liked to have credit.
