8 weeks in Indonesia & Brazil

Hi Wetpixel,

Finally had a chance to organize my images from my two most recent shoots: Indonesia (Komodo & Lembeh) and Brazil (southwestern portion near Bolivia & Paraguay). Komodo on the Seven Seas was phenomenal (already rebooked for Aug. 09) and Lembeh (KBR) was outstanding (get a private guide like I did; makes a huge difference). Brazil was in the sticks with a guide (the only way to do it).

The extended assignment focused on obtaining new material for my seventh book, due out sometime in the spring of 2009. It includes lots of variety. While the majority is uw, there's people, scenics and wildlife (to tell a complete story of locations, issues, cause & effect, etc.). I used lots of different lenses for both the topside (16mm, 10.5mm, 35-70mm, 80-200mm, etc.) and uw (usual suspects here: 60mm, 105mm, 10-17 Tok primarily) and two D2x bodies going all out, day in and day out. For a sneak peek, check out the three galleries, found at:

Wow - really enjoyed your galleries! Nice to see also some surface pics about the surroundings where you have been diving.

Thanks for sharing !

Thanks Michael,

The Brazil images are great, the underwater shots of the 16 ft Anaconda must have been a kick to get. Beautiful work.

Cheers,

Steve

Great stuff. Your Lembeh images have a refreshingly different perpective and of coarse the Brazil stuff is very unique. Love it!!

The Brazilian images are fascinating. And I really like the wide angle in Lembeh. Also that shot in Komodo Island National Park with the strong currents is pretty awesome. Wouldn't fancy a swim there.

Some exciting works in that lot. What a wonderful trip you have had. The freshwater works in Brazil are my favorites.

Fantastic and inspirational!

Really like the Lembeh ones. Also really like the way the slideshow captions work as a narrative!

Thanks for sharing them

Adam

great shots

Just lovely, thanks. Scott

nice photos Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed matto grosso de sul. It looks like you went to Bonito.

I just got back from 9 days in matto grosso, but I only did topside photography.
