Hello from Norway

Hello everyone! My name's Geir, and I currently live and work in the Norwegian capital city of Oslo. I actually created my account here at Digigreen last year, but a dismal, rainy summer and autumn kept me away from both the water and this forum (I'm a semidry diver, so winter is off-season for me). Hence the belated introduction.

Anyway, I've been diving since the summer of 2005, and got interested in UW photography almost right away. I started out with an old Olympus digital Mju camera (can't remember the model number) and nothing else on a liveaboard trip to the Great Barrier Reef at the end of 2005. The Olympus has since been traded in for a Fuji Finepix F30 and an Epoque ES-150 DS Alpha strobe. Given both visibility and equipment restrictions, I tend to gravitate towards the macro end of UW photography, though I'm currently very much tempted to add a wide-angle conversion lens to the rig (being on a budget, probably an Epoque DCL-20). I'm especially fond of shooting flatfish - they are nature's own caricatures, and always make for an interesting photo.
