Riau Dive

[benmah]

Hi all,
Just got back from Batam. Dived the southern islands, the Riau-Lingga islands I think. Anyway here is a link to some pics taken Riau Pics . These are the few salvagable ones from the trip. Got a whole bunch of garbage actually.

Seen Goondoo's shot after the dives. He's got some really good shots. Hopefully, he will post them up soon. Anyway, the waters there are so silty. Maybe, I am too pampered, diving in clear water. ;p

greenish wise maybe its ur eyes...
its quite badly burned out. Its not a night dive, I was trying to create a black background with fast speed and smal aperture... so have to set the strobe to stronger.... this is those time when I wished I got TTL

thanks, glad to know you like the pics.

As for your enquires, I will PM you to prevent the moderators, especially Ivy jumping on you for Off Topic
