what do you like to see? big fish? small creatures? underwater landscape, great visibility? so many places with their own special attraction. See all my pictures, they were taken in Bali, Raja Ampat, and Wakatobi.

Where exactly is Raja Ampat and Wakatobi?
I'm planning to go to Menjangan Island, hopefully this year...
And I want to see, a shark, but not a big one... bot bigger than me.
Or should I just go to seaworld... hahahha....no harm there.... :)

Raja Ampat, West Papua - north east of Sorong. Wakatobi, South East of Kendari. I also dive in many other places in Indonesia, but unfortunatly when I bring video camera, I can not bring photo camera, si I do not always able to take pictures. I'm planning to be in Menjangan Island to shoot some footage mid of second week of March.

I'd love to go as soon as I can, but I'm not sure if my hubby has time.
But, you've got great pictures.... I'd love to see some of the video you shoot.

Most of my video is stored at Metro TV library, I work from time to time with them (and other production companies), so I can not publish them the way I like it. You may see some of my works in Archipelago and Expedition Program-Metro TV

saya sdh dengar banyak tentang magic filter, tapi setelah saya pelajari lebih lanjut, ternyata itu adalah konsep yang banyak di pake dalam underwater video. Magic filter bekerja seperti filter video yang untuk blue water dan green water, masalahnya pada saat pake filter ini, filter harus di pasang permanen dalam housing (kalo di video filter ini bisa di buka tutup melalui fasilitas housing), di housing kamera foto nggak ada fasilitas ini. Jadi kalo magic filter dipakai, saya akan mengalami kesulitan kalo saya akan pake flash. Ada saran? Kalo punya pengalaman dg magic filter kabar2in ya..thanks

magic filter is not for every dive they said, cuma buat saat kita niat mau wide angle di shallow water yang murky atau yang banyak suspended particles-nya, atau pas lagi males ribet dengan 2 strobes dgn arm-nya yg panjang2...:)

wuah.. kapan2 aku mau donk difoto under water oleh para profesional seperti bapak deyez en cipto..... kapan yah?????

Thanks infonya. Ya, emang seperti itu yang juga saya pelajari, sebab konsep magic filter mengembalikan lagi warna merah yg berkurang. Pada tempat yg agak dalam, gelombang cahaya merah sdh tdk banyak, sehingga magic filter krg berfungsi, persis seperti konsep di underwater video. Reportnya ya itu, kalo sdh terpasang didepan lensa, nanti kalo saya mau lbh dalam atau mau pake flash, filternya nggak bisa di buka, kalo dipaksain pake flash, jadinya "over red". Utk mengatasi partikel (back scatter), posisi flash bisa diatur sehingga partikel jadi minimum. Tapi sebenarnya bisa menarik juga kalo bawa kamera lebih dari satu, yg satu dipasangin magic filter...weleh, jadi tambah mahal ya.

iya.. soalnya waktu di foto underwater, cameranya ga terlalu pro, tapi cukup untuk mengabadikan aja.... lumayan deh, dari pada ga ada foto samasekali..
