Couple of shots from Nusa Lembongan, Bali

Hi all,

my first contributions to this site, and after some time, first photos as well. Previously used a compact which got missing in action 2 years ago (never shot with external strobe before).

Hope you enjoy them, OMD-EM5, 12-50 and Inon D2000, all shot at 50mm (and cropped in LR).

Welcome to Wetpixel Aleksandar! Looks like you had a great time for your first attempts with the new rig. Interesting that you didn't overpower your subjects with the strobe. Nicely done.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks Steve!

I underexposed a bit on purpose, I wanted to get just enough light for colors to be restored/visible.

I wanted to test out the equipment prior to the trip, but the strobe arrived 2 days before our flight so that was pretty much impossible. I am still pleased with results but this can be also much better.

Next on to do is to practice with the strobe setup, before spending money on a dedicated macro lens...

Couple more… I wanted to eat my heart out because the Orangutan crab is not completely in focus (drift dive).

Nice pics. Keep them coming!

Bali is a nice place for photogs, init?

Plain beautiful.

Unfortunately, it took me 28hrs in each direction to reach/leave it hence I will not be able to visit frequently, but would love to come over a couple of more times.
