Just got a phone call - I'm going back to Bonaire next saturday!! The world is not fair, but this time the gods are on my side. Second time on Bonaire in only a few months. Life is good!

And a few pics from september:

just Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great News, Henrik! Hubby and I will be on island the same time! Maybe our paths will cross. Looking forward to some great photos after your trip.

Henrik -

As always, your pictures are world-class. Thank you for sharing.

Might I please ask what is the fish (dark blue covered with white spots) in the first picture of your latest post?

OMG, Henrik...how to you say "MORE" in Swedish??!!

You are outdoing yourself, again with these latest photos. Amazingly crisp, clear and oh...the subjects and framing! To die for.

I am soooo happy you are returning to Bonaire! I know you were headed in a different direction originally, but who are we to question fate?!

What a treat for you.....we can't wait to see what you come up with this time for us.....more drooling on the keyboards on our end, without a doubt.

Have a terrific time and relax and enjoy your dives...don't worry about feeding us more spectacular shots....do it only if you enjoy it. (I know you do!). Thanks for these treats. Ayo. Carole

WOW!!! I wish I could say more than that!!!!!

The little blue fish is a young Yellowtail Damsel. I've lighten the picture a bit to show some detail. I really is very dark blue with dots so blue the camera can't show them right.

Henrik -

Thank you. These are one of our favorite fish in the sea and we appreciate your identifying the photograph.

We call them "blue diamonds."

See what it is?

hummm the skin of something.....
Henrick you have fabulous photos.. here is a hint to help us all.. instead of typing description between the brackets type what you are showing us ,like {grouper skin} instead of {description}

But if it isn't a grouper skin... ;-)

Ok, I see your point, but I am a bit lazy so I just copy-paste from the start page. I don't write the word description every time. See if I can get better.

20 questions....is it some sort of skin???

ahhh I know.... it is on a turtle isn't it...

Hmmmm haven't got a clue "what it is".

But would like to ask if I am right in thinking photo No3 in first post is Brain Coral?

I think it is a fan, a perfect one.

Great pics!
Where do you stay in Bonaire?

We use to stay at Buddy, but this time it's a budget trip some we're trying Divers Paradise. But we will still dive with Buddy.

Pic 3 is a Brain, and the skin pic is of a squid.

WOW Henrik, WOW!!!

OMG....Henrik I am still waiting for your book! I think you must be on island by now and the viz looks poor...hope it clears up SOON so we can see what you see!

I'm not on the island yet. Still one week of waiting for me.

I looked thru a CD of pics from two dives at Buddys reef sep 18 and found some pics you might like. Hope it's not to many at once...

Absolutely awesome Henrik! I love the close up of the peacock flounder face and the baby trunkfish the best although I must say it is a tough choice!

Great shots, Henrik. Love them all.

Egads, Henrik....there could NEVER be too many of your photos posted at once for us! Just fabulous!!! Thanks....we can't wait to see what you come up with next week...hope the viz holds up while you are diving and shooting. Carole

Never to many? Ok, I'll fix some more. You can get a squirrel's eye while you wait...

How do you do it? The photos are amazing!!

Your photos are stunning! Absolutely beautiful.

Great!

Henrik,

Wonderful work!!!!

Do you have anymore in the sequence with the squid chromatophores?

We are all glad you are going back to Bonaire.

Stunning! I agree with Babs... would love to see these published! Also agree with Carole B... never too many at once ;) . Keep them coming, they help keep PBD at bay !!!

I just want to know how long it took you to master lighting techniques... I'm almost embarrassed to post any of my shots from Nov. b/c I was "learning" to use a strobe for the 1st time this trip.

Such perfect focus and great exposure! Do you ever teach photography? Robyn

.........OUTSTANDING.........

Love the eel....

Henrik- Please - a book, a calendar!! When? Your photos are so tantalizingly beautiful and evoke the beauty of Bonaire for me when I'm not there. I would love to see them gathered into a coffee table sized book. I'm sure there would be a market for it. Sue

Sue is right...I know I'd be buying a copy or two, at least, Henrik. Can you put something together somehow?? Carole
