Google's top 10 most searched photogenic spots in the US in 2022 - some might surprise you!

Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother…

A blissful moment with humpback whales in Bora Bora

Work being slower than in prior years - fewer weddings, couple's shooting, and visitors in general - has allowed us to work on our underwater photography. Taking photos of marine life is something I love doing, grateful to always have my wonderful vahine at my side. Animal photography takes patience and a good amount of luck in having the perfect situation, unlike a wedding or couple's photo shoot, we cannot create the scene or situation for the perfect shot. We love photographing sharks, over…

Underwater photography in Bora Bora

To unleash aquatic photography, I use Canon + a Nauticam housing. I got my first dive certification at age 14, at 18 I had acquired a Nikkonos V with a 35mm!

We are proud to have sold a few prints to several magazines and also have a few available (at a reasonable cost) on our gallery! I use a Canon DSLR, a Nauticam housing with Inon strobes, several LED lights &…

Does anyone have any experience with the Flip camcorder? I love how small it is, but I wonder how it compares to a more "normal" camcorder. I'm thinking of getting one very soon, so any advice you guys can give, I'm all ears!!

@jose: This is one of the rare trips to Paris when Sky Gods were taking a break :) It was 19F/-7C mid-afternoon so :) Since I shoot for myself, there was no post-processing just reduced for the online world.

Beautiful pics, Anil! I've been to Paris many, many times, and I've rarely seen such blue skies! What did you do??
Anil April 27, 2010 at 10:36pm

I had some pics of Paris from last month, I just uploaded, nothing special. Since I was staying by the Ecole'Militiare Metro, Eiffel was nearby, and Louvre I love , so some from there too :-)

@Cessy: If you are comfortable with the feel of canon, why not stick with the same ? Check out dpreviews, or photo.net In my experience handheld PS cameras do not make good video clips, they are good for low res youtube style small clips.
