Time

On the morning

Equipment

Nikon D750, 14-24mm f2.8, nauticam housing with a 25cm dome

Inspiration

French Polynesia is a paradise, above and under water level. I wanted to share that with you.

Editing

Noise reduction, light adjustment

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, 14-24mm, 24-70mm, 150-600mm, macro 105mm, tripod

Feedback

You need a calm water, a wide angle with big dome, a big depth field, focus on what’s happening under the surface, and a lot of practice!
