History
Jeff Hunter took the pictures that made up the composite in August of 2001, with all elements of the pictures being authentic to the location. He used a Nikonos RS with the Nikonos 20-35 mm zoom lens, lit with two Ikelite 200 Underwater flashes with homemade diffusion disks on the lights, as well as Fujifilm Provia 100F (RDPIII) film. The picture was edited using Adobe Photoshop and digital scans made from the original film.

Hunter also licensed other photos to Microsoft for use in Windows.
