Back from Brothers Islands liveaboard

These are my first attempts with a housed DSLR (350D+ikelite) after using an Olympus C-4040Z for several years. Unfortunately, I didn't have a proper wide angle lens, used 18-55 on most shots and EF-S 60 on a couple of them.

"Glassfish and Reef" should be made into a poster. It's beautiful.

And a very good first attempt as well..

Some lovely shots in there Erik.

Thanks for your friendly comments! Hope to be able to put a wide angle lens on it soon, although the 18-55 was more useful than I thought. And I never got close enough to any sharks to have any use for anything wider either... Took a bunch of colourless gray reefshark pictures, most of them at 55 mm...

"lots of sharks"....where? can only see one picture...I was last year about the same time at the brothers and was dissapointed...not many sharks and especially no oceanic white tips...did you see them this year? how far away?

There were lots of sharks! =) I didn't say lots of shark PICTURES - had to write something to draw some attention...

It wasn't season for oceanics now, better in jan/feb I think. We did a few dives on Elphinstone where you would normally see them, but nothing. But there were lots of gray reefsharks at Little Brother, we say them on most dives, sometimes 5-6 at the same time. They seemed to gather at the south plateau at 30-40 meters. I was probably 4 meters away at the closest (the picture on the web is taken at 55 mm and only slightly cropped). I do have a bunch of pictures though, but since I was so far away they weren't worth showing to anyone...
