Story Behind the Shot – Grey Reef Shark and Diver

Meet Seb, he is the French diveguide that I used to work with back in French Polynesia 10 years ago or so.  Seb lived on the island of Rangiroa and joined the Tahiti Aggressor when I worked on that boat from 2002 to 2004.  Seb was a special kind of person, he loved sharks and […]

Volcanic Bubbles in the Komodo area

Photo of the Day – HDR Wayag

The Wayag island group in northern Raja Ampat, Indonesia is an incredible feast on the eyes, with hundreds of karst islets scattered throughout a calm lagoon.  This picture perfect place is best seen from the top of Mt Pindito where one can observe the entire lagoon from above.  For this photo I have used HDR […]
