First impressions from Southern Leyte

diving, Photo of the day, Photography, Travels, underwater

Today we had our first day diving with Southern Leyte Divers. Unfortunately the rain Gods were on our side almost all day, but this didn’t prevent us from enjoying our 2 dives.
I really enjoyed playing around with my macro lens again.

This evening the sunsets brought great colors and dramatic clouds…..before it started raining again 🙂

underwater babies

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure to take pictures of 2 babies in the pool. They both performed with joy and laughter.

I just played around with one photo, converting it to black&white and more 🙂

Let me know which one is your favourite! Any comments, questions and constructive criticism are warmly welcome !

a somewhat funky conversion to something straight out of the seventies 😉

Which one do you prefer?
