Co-existence!...

During my last dive trip, I caught this fat Moral Eel hiding under the corals. Periodically, it will peep to see if I was gone. What caught my attention was the 2 tiny fish circling its face and also nibbling on bits of food left on those scary looking teeth. I took multiple shots and hoped to have a good picture that I can place here to explain the interesting idea of co-existing. Makes me think about life in the office these days - even when there are "eels" with scary teeth or snakes ever ready to strike, there is always an opportunity for co-existence. :-)

Seeing Things In Black or White!...

Learn something from my last dive trip. I was stalking a giant squid... maybe 2.5 to 3 foot long and you can probably add another foot to its size if you count those tenticles. While it was changing colours to make itself invisible to me every few seconds, I was trying all kind of camera settings underwater to capture this beautiful annimal. At the end of the day, I realised that BW was the best because the shades of grey in between gave this picture the depth needed. Also, the colours available at 50 feet was not great. Make me think a little about our lives. While Blacks and Whites become OB markers for us, it is the patches of greys in between that add real colour to our lives. See what a Giant Squid can teach you when you pay attention! :-)

Who Says You Need Expensive Equipment?...

Did my yearly trip to Bali in June! This time with the family and also friends (The Wees and The Phuas). Really had a great time - Scuba Diving, Buggy Riding, Whitewater Rafting, etc. It was also a great opportunity for me to introduce the beauty of photography to Chloe. Her camera is a simple Samsung 3.1 MegaPixel digital camera with 3 main setting (Marco, Portrait or Scenery). The picture here is taken by her. Ok... slight contrast & colour adjustments... What was most important with the digital photo today is a well-composed picture. She caught me using my camera on the horizon out at Manggis in the evening. I am so inspired by this picture that it sits on my noteback as the wallpaper. Liked me, she loves catching people in their nature state. There are many more photographic tips for her to pick up. One more common hobby between Chloe and I... :-)
