Daybreak on Fogged-up Lens

Taken with a NIKKOR 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens at 18mm. 1/1600 sec. f/3.5 and ISO 200 (no flash)

About this photo: I woke up from the boat during a diving trip to see an awesome sunrise but I could not get rid of the fog from my camera lens no matter how many times I wiped it. But this was a start of a great day of diving.

Nudibranch

About this photo: My new favorite creature on this blue earth. I'm gonna find and photograph as many of these beautiful creatures as I possibly can.

About these Photos: I really don't know the names of alot of the things I see underwater sadly.

Blue Spotted Stingray / Blue-spotted Ribbontail Ray

(???)

About these photos: These creatures were really hard to spot, with the exception of the yellow moray eel which even the dive master who was with us have never seen before.

Blue Silhouettes

About photos: Very blurry I know, but my camera wasn't really a particularly powerful underwater camera, add that to the fact that the visibility in Tioman's waters though infinitely better than Singapore's, isn't that great.

Boys Will Be Boys

Taken with Olympus U Tough T8000, 1/60s, f/3.5, ISO 64
About this photo: My first time handling my U Tough T8000 underwater and these two boys were more than happy to be my test subjects. Can't wait to go diving next weekend!

Opening the Doors to Underwater Photography

So my dad came back from Qatar a few days back and these few brief visits by him always amount to buying loads of new gadgets and stuff. This time round is no different, hearing that I was gonna go diving end of June, he bought me the Olympus U Tough (First two pictures), a rugged water proof (up to 10 meteres) camera in it's own right. But with the underwater housing which was bought simultaneously, this upcoming dive trip is gonna be the best one yet.

If you happen to come across this blog, then coming back after June might just yield some kickass (or halfassed) underwater photos!
