A few testimages with my new underwater strobes (Inon Z240) at the Vinkeveense Plassen in the Netherlands.
Images were taken at the “Zandeiland 4″ location where a bus was sunk for diving just recently (early May 2011), there’s also a nice little wooden wreck out there which is great for model photography. All in all a very pleasant location to test some new equipment!

Lately, I’ve been getting quite a few request for hi-res images from the Dhow sailing boats that I captured along the Tanzanian coast in 2004. So, I figured it was time to make a decent posting about these incredible sailing ships that transport cargo and people over the rough seas of the Indian Ocean. At the end of this post there is a slideshow with decent captions about the Dhows, Zanzibar, Dolhpin watching and Stonetown. Enjoy!
