Puerto Galera (Picture heavy!)
9

I shot these almost a year ago in Puerto Galera (Philippines), but since I did not post them here, I though it might be entertaining...

They are all shot with my Olympus Pen E-PL7, the 14-42mm PZ kit lens as well as and the Inon UCL-165M67 macro lens (for the macro shots).  I am using the Olympus housing (PT-EP12) and only the camera's flash, no additional strobe.

Hope you enjoy it,

Lars

Hi Lars,

PG is quite a place for macro and the best thing is allmost no-one goes mucdiving there.  Where did you find the harlequine shrimp? Was it inside the lagoon?

Hi Master of the Universe 😀,

since it is almost a year ago, I do not remember... 🤔, but it is lots of fun there and I do not mind going back.

One scary thing are the earthquakes though... got hit by a relatively strong one while underwater... not so much fun... 😏

Greetings,

Lars

Spotted crab shot is phenomenal. Your dark technique works well,in that type of shot. But the closeup of a sea snake??? You know they’re poisonous, right?

Those are some seriously impressive shots.
