Nice. What the hey are the last two (the fuzzy white creature next to the soft coral, and the spaceship glowing alien thingy)? Certainly are some fascinating critters in your part of the world.

yeah,what is that one picture of? Looks like it was taken under a microscope.

BTW, Your gallery seems not to be working. Only see the thumbprints. The pictures are x :11:

Thanks. I think the fuzzy thing is a bunch of translucent sea squirts. As for the jelly, Wolverine ID'ed it as a comb jelly.

The last shot is some kind of jelly. I was calling is a "Gnome's Hat Jelly" until Wolverine Id'ed it.

I have asked TechAdmin to help me with the gallery glitch. Thanks, Leesa.

Thanks, wolverine. Hong Kong - Denpasar is about 4 hours and Denpasar- Dili is 1.5 hours. You coming?

Really nice shots. I love the colours you are getting.
The pictures in the Atauro island gallery are also very nice.
Is your camera able to synchronize the flash with 1/1000 shutter speed? This is really great to make a nice black background like you do. With my camera I can not do more than 1/250.

Very nice shots keep those normal angles (soft coral) coming. With the sharp focus, fine detail and knock out colors, what type of add on lens did you use?
