Fantastic photos from Bonaire

[John Gulliver]

Some of you may remember Henrik Jonsson's wonderful images from our trip to the Farnes in Septenber '03. Henrik has just been to Bonaire and his images from there are at least as wonderful. The fact is, I've never seen better fish portraits. Click on any image and use the arrows to move on to the others:

I'd really like to see those pix but seems like you need to register and login to view them, a tad difficult for us who don't speak Swedish...

Yes, sorry, Steve, I just realised that too. I'll revert with a better link in due course. These images really are worth seeing. Henrik intends to put these pics on his own website during the weekend, so they should be displayed for all to see by Monday.

Henrik has not yet posted his main Bonaire album on his website, will be doing so tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. Meanwhile, photos from a wreck dive during the same trip can be seen here:

Henrik has now sold his SLR film camera and housing. All these photos were taken with a Canon EOS digital camera.

Thanks for the link, I just got back from Bonaire yesterday and the Hilma Hooker dive was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Here, at last, is the link to Henrik's Bonaire album. All the galleries are good but it's "Swimers" that impressed me most.

They really are quality pics. They certainly put some of my attempts into place. great inspiration tho.

Canon EOS 300D in Ikelight housing, Sea & Sea YS90 and YS300 strobes. Most of the shots were taken with the 100 mm macro lense, some with the 1855 zoom. I hope I've got all this right. I asked Henrik over the phone.

Thats good to know; I was thinking about getting one of those and the pictures look fantastic. Any idea how much Photoshopping was involved?

Excellent pictures, I especially appreciated the salt pier series as we didn’t get to do that dive this trip. Unfortunately you now need permission from the harbour authorities (post 9/11 non-sense) and even then you need to be accompanied by a local dive master. We managed to dive the town pier ($25 a head) but were unable to get permission to dive salt pier before we had to go home.
