My Home Sky

perfect moments, Photography

I spent the late evening outside to experience star-trail photography. This shot is composed of 70 frames each of 30 seconds exposure. All photos were taken with a SIGMA 17-70mm at 17mm at ISO 800 and with an aperture of 2,8.

I’m still in my trail and error mode but enjoy it a lot. I played with the white balance to create different moods. What’s your preference?

Here a short time-lapse of the 70 images on vimeo 🙂

Flower Power Dive

diving, perfect moments, Photography, sulawesi, Travels

Last April we spent 2 weeks diving at the Prince John Dive Resort. Everything was great, the staff was really helpful and nice. The atmosphere was fun and easy-going!

At one point comes the moment when you prepare for your last dive. Always a moment of mixed feelings:happy to go diving but totally aware that it is the last dive before returning home.

Well the staff at Prince John found a great way to make this last dive a really special one ! You will do a Flower dive 🙂

Now I can already imagine some of you wondering. A Flower dive? Well the divemasters collect some beautiful flowers from the garden and attach them to your tank and regulator hose.

Men and women alike then walk fully covered in flowers into the water. No need to say that the locals watch you with a bright smile.

Sometimes it doesn’t need much time nor money to make people feel special.

Thank you for that Alex, Dedi, Moh Amin, Gunawan and Nasrun
