images from Palau

[Chris Bangs]

I uploaded a few shots from a recent trip to Palau. not all that good as they are a bit dark due to the very nasty weather, high winds, rain, surge. all the fun stuff photographers love.

anyway, the "copy link" thingy is gone from the gallery therefore I have no clue as how to include the thumbnails in this post. please go to my gallery and sort by "posted date/desending" and the new shots will be on the first page

all the best from Guam, sucking up Volcanic ash while sitting through earthquakes. good time for a typhoon!

woo hoo,

Chris

When were you there? We went in late Jan of last year and the weather was absolutely great.

Looks good to me! As an amatuer I'd like to know what gear your using, settings etc.

As usual bellissime!!!
I love the close up with the dolphin. Lucky you. The closest I saw them under water was about 30 meters.

I was there Jan 16 ~24. You experianced the normal goods weather. But in the western Pacific it can always change. what happened is that a small typhoon that passed near guam brought the unusal weather to palau

The one with the spade fish I suppose, hummmm, so that's a spade fish. I'm still learning my fishes.
