Last year ended in Indonesia, where we visited Bunaken National Marine Park for some underwater photography. Though I’ve photographed under water several times over the years, it’s definitely not something I do frequently. The last time happened to be in Indonesia as well, at Wakatobi National Park as I was wrapping up Wild Lives.
Fortunately we had some incredible diving guides that made it very easy for me to focus on the task at hand – photographing the beautiful colors, coral formations, and tropical fish! For many of my shots, I was positioned precariously close to the reef, using a metal rod to carefully touch it without disturbing it’s inhabitants. This also kept me anchored so I could use my free hand to shoot – and of course as an added bonus, kept me at a safer distance from the reef’s possibly poisonous denizens.
Enjoy the photos!
