I am literally an outdoor enthusiast, like nature and all photography associated with it like orchids and wild flowers, birds, marine animals, national parks, the beach, etc. I currently dive a lot and focus much of my time underwater capturing and cataloging much of the critter life that I encounter down below.

You will notice a lot of nudibranch pictures in my flickr set which are my favorite subjects to photograph. I can also do species identification for sea slugs if you have trouble with their names.

I use a combination of gear which I have recently upgraded:

Underwater

* Nikon D800

* Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8

* Nikon 20mm f/2.8 AF-D

* Ikelite Housing for D800

* 2 x Ikelite DS-51 Sub-strobes

Above water

* Nikon D800

* Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

* Nikon AF-S VR Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF

* Nikon 105mm AF Micro F/2.8

* Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D

* Nikon SB-910 Speedlight

My albums will include photos which were taken previously with the following equipment as well:

* Canon G9 with ikelite Housing

* Olympus C7070WZ with Ikelite Housing

* Olympus C5060 with Ikelite Housing

I also like orchids and gardening, pictures of which are also published on my flickr sets.

I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I like sharing them. For best image quality, please use either Firefox or Safari browsers as these 2 support embedded color profiles in my pictures which output more accurate colors. Cheers.
