Atlantis x2

Hello all, just thought I would share a couple of pics from my summer hols along the theme of Atlantis...

First up is a shot from the Foyer of a huge Vegas-style resort called Atlantis, located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Taken with the 10-17 fisheye on my K5 looking straight up at their wonderfully decorated dome...:




A great place to visit for half a day (magnificent aquariums), but a bit too 'in your face' for my tastes (and considerably beyond the capabilities of my wallet!)

Second is something a bit more truly 'Atlantian', taken while snorkelling at a dive site called 'Hollywood Bowl' with my Optio WG1 - it doesn't have the refinement of a DSLR but is really great fun underwater (in fact it's a great fun holiday camera) - a bit hit and miss (especially given the environment) but a lot cheaper and more compact than a K5, flashes and Ikelite housing. I've used mine in the Ocean a few times now and it hasn't leaked yet (touch wood)




Hope you like them

Cheers

Colour is lovely in the first one, I tried something similar locally but I couldn't get the angle quite right and didn't think of just lying on the floor (and would probably have been too self-conscious). I think the second would be better without the diver personally, but it does add a sense of scale to the image.

Thanks Mike
