South of Andaman Sea and Similans

[aihalain 0]

These are my first pictures to this forum. Started Diving two years ago and now cannot imagine diving without camera. I was two weeks in Thailand; Phi Phi, Hin Daeng/Muang, Koh Haa, Similans and Richelieu Rock. Most of the pictures are macro, training for the next trip. Hope to get some comments. And how improve?

Nice shots. I had never heard of a pygmy pipe fish. Very cool.

 

I checked out the link on Flickr, too. The whole set is very good.

Hi Aksu,

 

These are lovely pictures-thanks for posting them.

 

I particularly like the second one.

 

As constructive criticism, I think your strobe positioning and power is a little off in the first and third-the lighting (for me) detracts from the subjects.

 

Thanks again

Very nice photo of the Pipefish. Who did you dive with?

Thanks for the comments.

Jazzyjezzy: The pipefish was with Scuba Queen, divemaster Heikki who also found that couple of months ago.

Adam: thank you for the critisism. I had hard time getting the decent light and I found out the problem last day when I shot wideangles, my other strobe was not syncronized ( right one), so all the pictures are with left strobe. Should have taken laptop to figure out that earlier

Karel: My set up is Nikon D3, sea and sea housing, two Inon 240 strobes, Nikon 105/2.8, Nikon 60/2.8, Sigma 15/2.8 FE

Hope to get back to water, if the vulcanic activity lets my fly back to Asia....
