Longdong Bay and N/E Coast

Hi USVet96,

Wish a few more would post, as my lot are all Macro / close stuff, and though we get good shoaling fish as well, Viz or light just ain't been right for decent 'distance' pics while I've been there recently - maybe next dive huh.

Camera is a Canon G12, Inon D2000 single strobe. Canon set on AV mode with F at 5.0, shot in RAW but only tweaked colours on a couple of the above.

Very famous is Long Dong .... or Dragons head when translated ..

Cheers

It is great to read news like this one. When I was in Bonaire, I encountered sea turtle for first time. Although the turtle was far away, just 30 seconds of glimpse and two photos are enough for me to be mesmerized by this majestic creature.

There is a turtle sanctuary in Bonarire and turtles are protected. The tour guide told us the police caught two people poaching two turtles were thrown in jail immediately, and fined large amount of money.
