The Seagate Pipeline 2 HD out of my video HDR failed last month after 6 years of continues service.

Excellent Macro Monday opportunity to take it apart.

Tech is so cheap, a new replacement HD cost me only 36 euro.

Portfolio & Services

First off, thank you all for the kind words on my last post, I appreciate it immensely.

Second, as I know some of you may be wondering, my ear did great on the trip. I did take a pharmacy with me, but only the nasal spray was hard core. Mostly, I took vitamins, ear supplements, homeopathic sinus and ear medicine and used Doc's Pro Plugs brand ear plugs for added insurance against potential ear trauma. It all seemed to work, and in the 6.5 days of diving I:

1) did 21 dives

2) spent 20 hours 40 minutes underwater

3) breathed 1680 cubic feet of compressed air

It is beyond words to be back underwater again. Diving is such a wonderful, surreal experience and to be back in that space brings me much happiness.

Ok, now a little about the trip and the shot.

Fiji is known as the soft coral capital of the world, and I love soft corals. I am drawn to them, almost to a fault.

You see, the entire trip I sought out sections of reef with individual and small patches of soft coral. I passed up many excellent macro opportunities for that "quintessential" Fijian soft coral vista. Little did I know, the last day of the trip offered the best soft coral reefs.

Underwater photography presents its own unique set of challenges, too many to list here. But one of them is finding dynamic compositions while attempting to balance the natural light along with your strobes and having nature cooperate all at the same time. What I mean to say is, I have a ton of so-so images with many suffering from uneven lighting, lackluster compositions, and chaotic fish formations. A lot of elements aligned for this one, and that is why I'm posting it first, as I feel it could be my best from the trip.

I hope you enjoy the image and that it may inspire you to appreciate the beauty and bountiful life in our oceans. Life that is worth protecting and preserving for future generations to explore and enjoy.

Durant els anys 1984 a 1996 vaig compartir la meva afició fotogràfica amb la canina. Vaig recórrer tota Espanya amb els meus gossos participant en certàmens de bellesa tant a nivell nacional com internacional, i de tot això tinc un gran arxiu analògic de fotos sobretot d'exemplars de gran bellesa i gairebé tots campions d'Espanya i d'altres països. Amb la possibilitat que avui dia oferix l'edició m'he decidit a escanejar algunes fotos analògiques i tractar-les per a poder anar mostrant a poc a poc aquest interessant món dels gossos de raça i exposició.

I am going to pick this rose in my garden FOR YOU .........

youtu.be/YjUaWiy_QXc

I have been using this camera for about 16 years.

I am hoping to find a newer camera and will probably buy a Nikon Coolpix.

I have taken some really good macro shots with this camera. As well as being light and easy to operate it fit nicely into my hand and of course my handbag.
