One of Lembeh’s hardest to find Critters – the Hairy Octopus. I don’t know how we’ve managed this over the last few weeks, but we have seen so many of these guys that even we all managed to go see them. I went and shot some 5k video, Serge and Read more…
It’s almost Christmas, the Photo Shootout has finished since over a week and it has been quite quite in the resort. But not so under water! The critters are doing extra shifts and keep delighting all guests day by day. Reason enough for a little “What is there to see right Read more…
Following up to the earlier post, this afternoon I pitched the plucky newcomer against the old master. The Canon MP-E 65mm lens is pretty much the holy grail for macro photographers – it made me switch from Nikon to Canon years ago, and i’ve only just bought one now! The Read more…
