I'll take you back to Pulau Weh. Under the surface, again. More than a month after my return from Indonesia, I am still sorting out my photos... Huge coral plateaus, delicate fans of gorgonians, multicolored swarms of fish in the blue: the sites of Pulau Weh offer beautiful landscapes!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Contrary to what I feared at the beginning, I was able to use my \"standard\" lens in the port provided in principle for the macro lens. According to the manual of the Ikelite box for the 7D<\/a>It wasn't possible. But in fact it does, it goes in.<\/p>\n

The only thing is that you can't use the zoom. But frankly, I'm not a fan of the zoom underwater. Long live the fixed focal length!<\/p>\n

The first (great) picture below is not of me. But it's one of the few pictures of me underwater !!! Many thanks to Phil North<\/a>, English photographer and videographer based in Koh Lanta, Thailand.<\/p>\n

I love how the coral draws a pink heart, in the glow of the flash. It's really pretty. This picture was taken at the Canyon site.<\/p>\n

The following ones are a mix of Pantee Peunateung, Meuduro, Batee Tokong... These are my very first tests with my standard lens (other than the macro one) with the 7D under water.<\/p>\n

It took me some time to get used to the flash in this configuration. Moreover, it was often in not easy conditions. A lot of current, on most of the sites. And then, these are rather \"deep\" sites for those who, like me, prefer to stay within the limits of the no-decompression curve... You can easily find yourself with a small deco stop at the end of the dive.<\/p>\n

But hey, this is the result. A totally different approach than macro! And I can't wait to do it again. Besides, I feel that I will soon have to invest in a dome, with the right fisheye lens...<\/p>\n
