Re: G1X II goes Egypt

Nicely done.   How was the trip, from a non-diving, political/travel perspective?  And how was the water temp?

Thanks. Travel was no problem. This part of the country (the African Red Sea coast) has, as far as I know, never seen any real trouble. That is more concentrated around the Nile region and the Sinai. Water temperature was a bit cold, 24 centigrade, so I was wearing my 7mm semi-dry.

Re: G1X II goes Egypt

Sounds cold to me.  I only have a 5 mil, and it doesn't fit well either.

Would still love to go one day.

Instead of critique may I ask you which one of these images you enlarged, nicely framed and hung on your living room wall?

I have just two hanging after about 10 years of shooting underwater and thousands of pictures waiting to be deleted on my hard drive. One of them is this 10 years old shot with 4mp Canon A80:

it is far from perfect under scrutiny, but looks great from the distance. Minimal correction of blown highlights is all I did to it in Elements 2.
