Southern Red Sea pics

Recommended Posts

Hiya!

 

I just got back from a trip to Daedalus -> Rocky Island -> Zabargad -> Fury Shoals, which gave me a lot of opportunities for taking pictures. I also had a new piece of equipment with me - a Nauticam SMC-1 super macro converter. Let me just say it like this: It's a challenge alright. But the results are beautiful, here are my favorite ones...

 

Equipment:

Olympus OM-D EM5

Panasonic 45mm macro lens

Panasonic 8mm fisheye lens

Dual D-2000/ S-2000 strobes

Nauticam SMC-1 on flip holder

Really nice macros.

Did you find the 45mm sufficient or you had to crop the pics to get where you wanted?

Hey Nir

 

nah, all those macro pics were show with the Nauticam SMC-1 on top, and I cropped them because getting something focus _and_ getting the framing right turned out to be too much for me.

good ones! like the man riding grumpy fish :D

out of the curiosity - was it liveaboard ? or were you based on shore ? normally i end up in Dahab (cannot beat that!) but after like 15 times i am thinking about a quick visit to Marsa Alam (and around) in between Dahab trips

That was on a liveaboard. And grumpy is a good description for the Napoleon, it bit me half a second after that picture was taken...
