  1. Recently back from a week diving Truk Lagoon and I've posted a gallery.

     

    We were on the Odyssey - and they certainly deserve their top notch reputation. All of us agreed that it was the best live aboard we've been on. The dive operation was superb - free 30% EANx standard and would blend any mix needed. Choice of 80s, 112s or double 80s. We had the opportunity to do many of the deeper wrecks and decompression diving was supported (and encouraged) with appropriate hang bottles and mixes. Photo table was adequete - especially since I was the only one shooting a housed camera. I ended up taking the camera on about 1/2 the dives (housing and strobes too bulky for some of the areas we were in).

     

    Most of the photos were shot with the Nikon 12-24 mm using the Subal FE2 and 50 mm extension and a 2+ diopter. (Shark photos were with the 17-35mm and closeups with the 60 mm AFD macro). All shot as NEFs and converted with PS7 plugin. Further editing as needed in PS7.

     

    Comments and advise welcome as always.

  2. Don,

     

    How about posting some of these shots individually in the Photo Critique forum?

     

    I think they will get the exposure they deserve that way.

     

    It's just not fair to let the Lembeh brothers (larry, moe, and curly) have all the fun.

     

    Cheers
