Scott: You could overlay the shaded relief image on a land-sea mask,
where the land part of the mask is transparent. Like this:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
bmap = Basemap(projection='ortho',lat_0=45,lon_0=-100,resolution='l')
bmap.drawmapboundary()
bmap.drawmeridians(np.arange(0,360,30))
bmap.drawparallels(np.arange(-90,90,30))
bmap.shadedrelief()
bmap.drawlsmask(ocean_color='aqua',land_color=(255,255,255,1))
plt.show()

No - just send questions to matplotlib-users (I've cc'ed the list)
