Palau 2011

[thkhoo]

Hey all, just got back from 6 days of diving in Palau a few days ago and finally got round to writing up the dive report (can be found on my website/blog, which is in my sig) and thought I'd share some pictures with all of you.

All shots were taken with the Sony NEX-5, 10mm fisheye adaptor, Nauticam housing and dome port, 2x YS110a strobes. Manual settings. Just starting out in underwater photography so hope you enjoy these pics as much as I did taking them.

(ps - the fisheye is great at what it does, but I was severely missing the use of a "normal" lens. Time to hit the bank account for the appropriate ports... sigh...)

Nice collection of shots from one of the best dive locations left on the planet IMO.

My fav is #4 making the diver look like an ant in comparison.

Thanks Gilligan! And I agree, Palau is definitely right up there on the list. Absolutely rocked my world.

(ps - I love your Bohol pics. Very nice indeed)
