About Lynne Browne

Lynne Browne I tried snorkeling on a trip to Hawaii and immediately was hooked on coral reefs. When I returned home, I signed up for scuba certification classes and found out that for medical reasons I could never be certified. Undaunted, I continued snorkeling and became a proficient free diver. I introduced my husband, Terry Melius (also a Fine Art America member), to snorkeling in 2000 and we've been snorkeling together ever since. In 2006 we purchased our first underwater cameras and began taking underwater photographs. Our first attempts at underwater photography were disappointing and we soon realized that we had much to learn. Taking photos while free diving is very challenging because the water, the subjects, and the photographer are all moving. Also, we can't use strobe lights because the force of the water as we dive pushes them out of place and we don't have time to reset them before taking a shot. In order to overcome these limitations, I decided that I would have to learn about post-processing our images. I signed up for classes at the Smithsonian Institution were I met my mentor, Eliot Cohen. By trial and error we also learned the best ways to time our shots and make use of the natural light available at 12-15 ft depths. Overtime, our photography improved and by 2008 we were selling our work at photography and other art shows. In 2010, we joined our first gallery. Our underwater photography can currently be seen at Dragonfly Galleria in Cambridge, MD.
