Hello dear Steemian friends! Welcome to the 8th episode of:
#OneBreathOnePhoto
As some of you may know, two of the things that I'm deeply passionate about besides travelling, is Freediving and Photography. Freediving is a practice of diving underwater without a tank or any other breathing apparatus, gliding through the watery abyss on a single breath of air with nothing but you and nature.
Do not go with the Flow. Be the Flow. Said the Turtle :)

Very nice @kuenok I love the colors here. Upvoted. What camera did you use to take this?

Thank you @rockjon! The camera I use is the Sony A7RII with a 16mm fisheye :)

Wow, I always thought you used a separate camera for these underwater shots. Waterproof cases for the A7R II are a bit pricey the last time I checked.

Yeah housings are always super ex, sometimes more than the camera itself! The one im using is aquatech, an australian made housing designed primarily to withstand waves for surf shots, but it's also good to 10-15m deep as well. Im always scared shitless tho lol

I have an A7R II too. I just get scared from walking near to salt water with it haha. When I used to have a A7 II, it already had a slight malfunction under very light rain.

Amazing! Really great shot, especially freediving! Hubby and I scuba dive from time to time, and I took our little point-and-shoot along, but the photos are really sub-par. lol
I've always wanted to see a turtle on a dive. Where was this taken?

Thank you @offbeatbroad, I love scuba diving too, many categorise the two but I feel both are very different and each has their own distinct enjoyment factor! It's hard to capture uw shots with a point and shoot , though there are some like the Olympus TG4 , or even gopro, which does pretty well if you're not looking to spend too much on DSLRs. This photo was taken off Lady Elliot island, southern part of the great barrier reef in Australia :)

Oh wow! That would be amazing.
lol Yes I think it's a pretty different experience breathing vs holding your breath. hahaha
The camera I have is an olympus and I have a nice housing for it, but it's really old now and totally obsolete... CRAP resolution. I'd love to get a housing for my DSLR but can't justify the $ unless I'd actually start diving regularly again. One day...

Yeah it's quite a big investment! but i guess one good thing is that it motivates me to keep on diving and taking photos, despite living in singapore with nothing but murky waters.. I can't wait to live near pristine oceans.. One day I will make it happen, somehow! :D

I love it! Especially the color. No, wait, especially the turtle! :D
I remember my first time seeing a huge turtle - it was so magical, probably because I didn't even know that there turtles can be seen in that place

Haha yes i remember from your post about that unexpected turtle encounter. Turtles usually pop out of nowhere but they always seem to know where they're going. Very calm and full of knowledgable and wisdom :)
