The World through our Lenses

And the Mies in the evening.  So I finally got to shoot a wreck first time in a couple of months due to my accident in California.  it took a few minutes to adjust and then i started to shoot the way i have been shooting in Ontario.   Good thing I get a redo but i still got a few shots.

So we went on a hunt for the elusive Bonairian Seahorse which does exsist as we have seen pics but yet to see one on this trip so far. Unfortunately there is also some sickness in the water that is killing off the eels and blue tangs mostly. So now on the diveshop boards are eel sightings which was not the case last time we were here.

Bart the owner of the Wannadive hut came over and brought a few beers and then showed us a video on Cia of 21 Stingrays that buzzed him last week. It was really good video to see and hopefully we will get lucky as well

So the evening shoot went well except after a huge amount of shooting all day the strobe gave up on the batteries about 10 mins into the dive and right when I had a great setup for me.  But that is life as a photographer
Supper was at the Casablanca an Argentinean steak house where we had the mixed grill, chicken, pork, beef, rice, fries, salad and cheese cake.  Everyone rolled home and crashed early.

So we got of  the first dive after visiting Benji a local GUE instructor and got some gear, then spent a bit putting all the camera gear together when the manager came and informed Nancy that her Ex Husband had passed away so they spent most of the afternoon helping her arrange a trip home.  (Nothing till tomorrow for any ideas).  So to cheer her off to Eden beach for a dive as well.

Macro Photography is not as easy as one would think, it is a very studious and patient art and only 10% of what you shot turns out and maybe one or two of those you will like,  other will more then likely enjoy the others.   So here are a few shots for you to enjoy.

Hopefully Nancy will get out soon and all will be well with her in the long run, and Annie who took sick this afternoon gets better as well.  So we can get back to the business of what we do best some diving.
