Great Barrier Reef
Screen Savers
About
the Screen Saver & photographer Bill Wood:
Award
winning underwater photographer Bill
Wood brings the wonders of the Great
Barrier Reef into your home or office. Bill has used state of the art
computer technology to produce a screen saver which presents over 100 underwater
images in a colourful sequence. Each
photograph may be fully identified with an optional caption.
The
pictures were all taken on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef during more than
two decades of diving, including seven years spent on Heron Island, one of the
world's most beautiful coral cays. Bill's
patient observation has enabled him to create a breathtaking record of marine
life in its natural environment during both the day and at night.
The Screen Saver CD is an ideal way to remember or share the wonders of
the Reef.
