Photos from Palau

good stuff young jedi...

wow, such kind words from the bald, dark lord from Yap... but I may stray to the darkside... Had a look thru the viewfinder on the D200... OMG, that is huge compared to the Canon 400D/ 350D. And the brightness is like day and night...

If you cross over, please consider this impoverished lens freak as a potential disposal for your cast-off Crapnon gear...

My real problem in Palau was not having the right lens for sharks.. the 15-30mm is too wide and the 60mm is too long.. so now I am looking for a cheap mid-range zoom. There is the Sigma 18-50mm (which Pakman uses) and there is the Tamron 17-50mm. Any other lens to recommend?

PS Sorry for the temporary highjack. Will return to topic later tonight..

Wow....pakman.....your photos are fantastic! I love their clarity, crispness, composition, and feel of it. Seriously exceptional!!!!!!!!!!

I've even made one as my desktop background image.

Keep it up! Really makes me wishes that I was at Palau yesterday!!!!

Wolv - try the Sigma 17-70 macro...extremely versatile, sharp and fast on my Canon 20D.

pak - which tonkina are you using? (like i need to buy more lenses...)

Alcina- the new Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye. The Jellyfish lake, turtle, the wreck, and the napoleon wrasse shots were all shot with this lens. This lens is really turning out to be a must have for Canon crop sensor cameras.

Tim - here's a shot of a moray with the Sigma 18-50mm EX @50mm (slight crop). Real flexible lens. Surprisingly shoots well at it's widest (18mm) as well.
