In August 2008, I discovered for the first time the island of Corsica where I stayed near Porto-Vecchio for memorable SCUBA dives and snorkeling. I did 11 dives with my underwater photo equipment of that time based on 6MP Nikon Coolpix digicam. I came to SCUBA diving through my hobby for horology and, in particular, the dive watches, explaining why there are some close-up shots of my watches of the moments.

I embarked from the mainland in Marseille, France, on the evening of August 18, 2008 and arrived early in the morning in Porto-Vecchio and returned the week after by the ferry in Propriano on August 27, 2008. I incidentally found (seeking for a camping place) a nice lodging in my price range near San Ciprianu where the dive center was next to a paradisiac beach of the bay. I did also one extraordinary dive in Bonifacio, in the Lavezzi Islands, where I met the biggest tame groupers I have never seen before.

My simple underwater housing was complemented by a Sea&Sea YS-27 DS submarine flashlight and a wide-angle Sea&Sea lens. The flash light was synchronized to the digicam build-in flash using an optical fiber cable. I still have the camera, the housing, and accessories in my collection in working condition, as well as an untouched exemplary of the Nikon Coolpix L11 that I bought as a backup in case of an accidental water leak of the housing.

All the views are the camera-rendered JPEG (the Nikon L11 could only provide JPEG). I re-edited them in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1). As usual, all views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.

About the Nikon Coolpix L11 (Wiki) :

The Nikon Coolpix L11 is a compact automatic digital camera made by Nikon. It has a 6.0 megapixel maximum resolution, which can be adjusted, and an ISO up to 800 (cannot be adjusted). It features a QuickTime movie mode, many beginner scene modes, and a sound recorder. The camera uses 2 AA batteries for power.

The Best Shot Selector feature on this camera allows users to hold down the shutter button, and the camera will take ten pictures. Then, the camera will decide which one is the clearest and will save that one only. This is designed for use when taking a picture without flash in a dark setting.

Due to severely limited electricity - maximum two hours a day - this farming community is severely limited in its ability to do agri processing and cold storage and maintain their livelihood. With support from AKF, the roof of the local Jamatkhana is now the site of a solar installation which provides electricity to 21 households around the clock thanks to gel batteries that store electricity during the daytime.

I'm trying out the Chase Jarvis' iPhone App that supports his book, The Best Camera Is The One That's With You™. The app lets you shoot, edit and share your images with their online community of iPhone images from around the world, as well as email, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. I’m loving it, so expect to see more!

Thanks for taking the time to browse our pictures.

Everyone and anyone can use our pictures on either their website or blog, all that we ask of is attribution credit back to our website - House Buy Fast. Thank you!

these tiger barbs were eating one of the cory. i bought a smaller tank to hold them.

een van de workshops op existenz maximum was l.a.m.p. ik ben gewoon het luxemburg college binnengewandeld, gaan dolen door de ruimtes en de tentoonstelling van de workshop resultaten gezien.

this photo shows maximum depth of field because it allows all three trees to be in focus & also everything in front of and behind the image too

In this picture, I used a small aperture of f/22 to try to achieve maximum depth of field. I kept everything in focus instead of just focusing on the big rock in the front. I wanted to show the detail and variety in all of the rocks in this picture.

Although they proved to be a very successful design, no more EL-Cs were produced due to the small number of railroads with electric lines.

All 12 EL-Cs were sold to the New Haven Railroad for operation between New Haven, CT and New York City.
