ENThat's it, I'm making a bit of progress sorting out the photos... I've just put my underwater images taken during the diving cruise at Similan. In the absence of the much hoped-for "big" encounters (mantas, whale sharks), I concentrated on the "small". Nudibranch lovers will appreciate!
The photos are here: 2009 - Similan - Thailand.

You did well to give me this link, I've just enjoyed your photos of the Similans underwater!!! 🙂
When I think that friends don't want to go to Similans because they say it's not as good as it used to be!!!!
I'm telling you, there are slaps that get lost!!! 🙁
I'll send them to your site, me, no but !!
By the way, did you have time to take a look at my nudis special album (you saw, full that I do not know)
I'm jealous, you have lots of gorgeous ghost-pipe fishes, I haven't managed to see any yet... 😡
@Laurence: Yes, it's superb your album of nudis... I love it!!!
And I'm very admiring, because you've gone to the trouble of finding and naming all these little creatures. I'm a little jealous too, as I've spotted a few that I've never seen before... Among others: Chromodoris roboi, Mouema labouti, Bornella anguilla (Philippines). It was in the Philippines that I too came across many species I'd never seen before. But it was the beauty of one of your photos, taken in the... Mediterranean, that had me glued: the “Cratena peregrina” standing out like this against a black background, it's magnificent!
I put the link of your album below, so that the other lovers of the nudis who will read this comment can take advantage of it also:

Finally, for the Similans, too bad for those who are picky!!! This kind of thinking, “it's not as good as it used to be” can be applied to many dive sites, alas. So, we shouldn't go there anymore... Hmm. It's a pity to be deprived of so many wonders.
The Similan count and remain among the best sites of Thailand, in my humble opinion, with a diversity and a faunistic wealth of breathtaking.

Hello Corinne,
Once again, a single word "impressive" the quality of your images (with a compact), not to mention the shooting!
Following the setbacks of the last trip and the curse of Koh Lipe 😥 on the Canons, have you changed cameras yet?
Continue to make us dream and share your journeys 😉
Thank you.
Sincerely.
Alain.
@ N @ me-Alain: Hello Alain, and thank you for the compliments, which mean a lot to me... I'm an “amateur” underwater photographer and I'm trying to improve little by little. It's starting to happen, and it's very gratifying to read comments like yours.
🙂
As for the rest of my photographic woes, since you're not the first to ask, I've finally decided to tell the end of the story, here in this new post:
➜ Photocatastrophic saga
In fact, I haven't really “changed” my camera, I've simply bought a new second-hand A95, compatible with my housing, which will last as long as it lasts, until I get more serious equipment...
thanks for the link to my album, for the Cratena, I'm quite happy with the result, luck was with me that day 🙂
