Under Water Photographers By Andrew Shpatak

I’m born in Russia in a village on the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan. The sea itself that always catches the attention of divers and underwater photographers from all over the Soviet Union.

I started with underwater photography recently, in 1998, with a simple underwater “boom box” “Canon” and “Epic”. Then a “Nikonos-5”, complete with wide-angle and close-up. Read more

The Two Level Lake Sorvagsvatn

Located on the island of Vagar, in the Faroe Islands, Lake Sorvagsvatn (also known as Leitisvatn) is an amazing lake. What makes the lake interesting is its two different levels.

Serene Waters of Hawaii

Amazingly every wave produces different textures from the last – from powerful blasts rushing over calmer water to gentle waves splashing together.

Photographer Bryce Groark, 37, is no stranger to the fascinating waves having lived on the island for 13 years and becoming inspired by other photographers snapping the water. But ironically after trying it for himself, he was drawn to those images where he missed the crest of the wave and instead preferred the ones where the wave had already crashed. Read more

Filtration – Pros and Cons

Filtration is the most effective type of water treatment and purification currently available. Carbon and multimedia filters build upon the treatment capabilities of reverse osmosis and distillation.

Filtration

They retain all of the good filtration qualities of these two systems while efficiently removing additional water contaminants. They are able to rid water of the larger compound materials, like salt, while selectively removing much smaller and dangerous chemicals, like chlorine and pesticides, that reverse osmosis and distillation systems cannot remove.

Distillation – How does it work?

Distillation is a water purification process that uses a heat source to vaporize water and separate it from contaminants and other undesirable elements commonly found in ground and surface water.distillation

Distillation heats raw (untreated) water until the water reaches its boiling point and begins to vaporize. The heat is then kept at a constant temperature to maintain water vaporization while prohibiting other undesirable elements from vaporizing. Water has a lower boiling point than salt and other mineral sediments. Read more
