Beautiful Indonesia: Nudibranch, Tauntingly Tiny!


This is a Nudibranch, a very colorful and tiny little slug like sea creature. People, especially photographers often go crazy over spotting these little guys as they are so small and hidden on the reef. Some are also quite rare! I spend about 15 minutes getting the perfect shot of this guy on the Wreck of the Liberty in Tulamben near Amed.

Beautiful Indonesia: Art in the Shadows


Underwater photography is a whole different game when it comes to land based vs underwater photography. The use of natural light underwater can be so tricky due to the low light conditions and the constant movement of the fishy subjects, but can make some very dramatic effects. The use of flash on the other hand is also tricky in that all the settings have to be right, the lights positioned carefully, and again those fast swimming fishy subject matter that always seem to get away just as you are finally ready to take your shot!

Beautiful Indonesia: Diving the Wreck of the USS Liberty


The wreck of the USS Liberty, in a town called Tulamben near Amed, starts in very shallow waters and does not go terribly deep so it is a great spot for beginner divers, free divers, photographers and divers of all levels.
