No worries, I'll be able to show you all the gorgeous pictures I took. I mean what are you expecting? :)

Have you always been into photography? And if so, throughout your trips and adventures, what has been your source of learning and getting better at your photography skills?

1) 3-4 feet max.
2) Nah, if you see any by your OWB, they're gonna be harmless babies.
3) Frankly, for the first time in my life, I didn't concern myself with what room I got. I remember when I went to MLE I spent hours researching/emailing/fretting over which room I got and it just detracted from the experience.  In this resort, the rooms are all appointed *exactly. the. same.* The only difference is the view and considering we were going to be out and about, either at the pool which has a view, swimming in the lagoon which has a view, relaxing in the hammock which has a view, or on an excursion which has an even better view, I didn't research/email/fret and it was lovely. So, in sum, we were content with what we got and didn't even bother asking for a different one.

Happens to be, this resort quite possibly has the best view of Mr. Otemanu out of them all...



Thanks for all the answers! Glad you didn't kill yourself and rather just enjoyed it!

Anyone can swim or boat by. This isn't like the LM HKT with a walled in pool.

Amazing installation!  Do you use a filter on your GoPro while diving?

Thanks.

Usually, yes, a red filter. This time, no.

Have you always been into photography? And if so, throughout your trips and adventures, what has been your source of learning and getting better at your photography skills?

Photography is always something I wanted to better understand, but never had the time.

With the advent of SF, the purchase of a new mirrorless camera, and lightroom, I've gotten more into it. And I quite enjoy it.

DO's have helped, YouTube has helped, ddf has helped. Get knowledge from everywhere!

Oh, I vaguely remember that thread. But why does it matter about cameras if swimming tzniusly? I mean, we both wore bikinis, and specifically asked them to set up cameras, but just curious.
