Fiji Pic's June, 2010

[DSR-3]

Since I always learn from the various u/w photog forums, I thought I'd post a link to some pic's from my last trip. I'm still struggling/learning with the strobe, TTL, manual modes, etc. The usual for the occasional point-and-shooter I'd guess... All pic's with a Canon A720IS, S&S YS90TTL, HW TTL adapter.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the garden eels are some of my fav's too. I spotted them late in the dive about 25ft below, but I had to get down there for at least a little while. For me, there's something relly cool about the feeling of laying on the bottom. I wish I had more air/time... The eels were pretty cooperative after a short while, but I did try some zoom as well. I only got a few decent pic's, as I learned that shooting with a strobe on the bottom is not too easy. That and getting shots in focus. I want to go(back) too!
