My recent trip to Wadi Lahami, Egypt

[Lennart 0]

A couple of weeks ago, I've been making a trip to Wadi Lahami, Egypt for a week of diving on the Fury Shoals. A few weeks prior to the trip I decided to buy a Hugyfot housing for my Canon 5D. Since I've never did any underwater photography before, I wanted to be prepared as much as possible. Therefore I decided to buy Martin Edge's book and subscribe to Wetpixel.com. I would like to thank you all for all the valuable information that is available here. It definitely helped me during my trip.

 

On the link below you'll find a collection of my photographs that I took during that week. I hope you'll like them.

Thanks! Wadi Lahami is about an 2 - 2.5 hour drive from Marsa Alam. I don't know about the other resorts in the area but Red Sea Diving Safari (www.redsea-divingsafari.com) has their own transfer service and will pick you up from the airport.

Thanks Maarten, I'm using a Canon 17-40mm and a Canon 100mm macro. However, the 17-40mm gives some soft edges. I think I'll try a diopter next time. Does anyone know which diopter should be used?

I don't know the answer to the question but I am also interested in the answer.
