The Story: This photo was taken by Novrizal Hernananto at Lembeh Strait, Indonesia at the Charm Festival 2022, one of the events is an underwater photo shootout, and one of the rules of this shootout is that you must be "unassisted".

"My group was diving at the Makawide divesite. I spent 30 minutes of the dive just looking for the critter. Luckily one of the dive safety marshals was kind enough and point out an anemone at about 8 meters, and left. So I went there and just stared at the fish and realize there's something in its mouth. The dive time already shown 50 minutes, with the dive time limit for the shootout is 60 minutes each dive. That meant I only had 5 minutes left including the safety stop, so I just took a couple of shots and left the dive with the group."

Location: Makawide Dive Site, Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia

Equipment Used: Sony A7C, Sony FE 90mm F2.8 G OSS Lens, Nauticam Housing, Nauticam Port, and Nauticam Viewfinder, Dual Sea and Sea YS-D3 Mark 

Camera Settings: ISO 100, F18, 1/200 sec




   WonderWoman and Superman flew in to Orange County on Thursday to attend a wedding Friday.
 
GH#3, SM, GH#1, GH#2, WW
 
They had lunch with Grandhunks 1, 2, 3 on Thursday. WonderWoman and Superman said 3 hours wasn't enough, as they miss the guys, but they all had work.
Friday morning they visited me for an hour, their wedding was late Friday afternoon. Before driving home Saturday morning, they will stop and visit Superman's parents. That's a lot to fit into two days.

I think every second of time spent together with family is precious and the older we get the more we are aware of it. And one hour - pure happiness!
Have a good Sunday, Jacki.
