Pulau Aur: 31 Aug - 2 Sept '07

[cityofangels]

I made a short trip to Pulau Aur last weekend (31 Aug - 2 Sept '07). We made 6 dives in total. 4 dives on the first day (including 1 night dive) and 2 dives on the second day. This is my 2nd attempt at UW photography, using a simple Canon Ixus 900Ti with original housing.

My 1st attempt at UW photography was in Bali in end April '07, and the thread can be found here.

All my Aur photos have been post-processed in PS to remove the bluish/greenish hue. I am very new at both UW photography & PS. Would appreciate some comments on how I can improve on both.


#1. Very friendly batfish - Swimming around us when we were at the surface waiting to be picked up by the dive boat.

#2. Found this lionfish, along with 2 others.

#3. Wall of Christmas Tree Worms

#4. Nudibranch

#5. Rock formation

#6. Large clam - Squamosa?

#7. Nudibranch

#8. Anchor

#9. Blue Christmas Tree Worms

That's all for now! Would love to hear your comments and critiques! Thanks!

You can check out OceanicFocus for enquiry on the underwater housing for either your D70 or D80.
