Hi

If you'd like to see some images from the MV Febrina trip I di last year, look here MV Febrina, Witu Islands, Fathers Reefs, Kimbe Bay, 30 September - 8th October - Bartlett Images

I'm going back early September this year, the reefs are amazing, the best i've dived, overall. And it links up with the amazing Goroka Cultural Show the day after the liveaboard ends Sing-Sings and Festivals, Papua New Guinea - Best of PNG

So, soooo tempting! I spent about half an hour this afternoon surfing your site and looking up cool stuff about the Febrina.
However, first there's the new Panasonic GH4 rig to think about....

What have you got currently?

What have you got currently?

I have a Panasonic GH2 in a 10 Bar housing. It's nice, but I miss not having 1080/50p and the slo-mo capabilities of the GH4 are amazing at that price point (96 fps). Unlike other consumer cameras that offer those things, the GH4 has very high bitrates (up to 200 Mbps), all with a M43 sensor. Yeah, I know this is just "gear lust", but even the guys over on Wetpixel are excited about this one!

Thanks for the inspiration, headed for the Febrina in about 4 weeks. It looks like you had the macro lens on more than wide angle. Is that the case for more oppertunites than not?

No, fisheye most of the time, plenty of big schools of pelagics, great viz and stunning corals and reefs, but how many barracuda, jack, shark and turtle shots can you put in an album? There is so much macro like that I took the macro shots in three, maximum four dives.
