The photos on this page were taken during our February 2008 visit to our condo at Sand Dollar and Bari Reef. During that visit we were lucky enough to be there for a total lunar eclipse.

Alan shot all the underwater photos on this page using a Nikon D200 in an Aquatica housing. The photos were taken with either the Nikon 12-24mm f4 zoom lens and Aquatica 8 inch dome port or Nikon 60mm f2.8 lens using the Aquatica macro port. He also uses a Nikon SB-105 strobe.

The above water photos were taken with either the Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 lens or, for the lunar eclipse photo, the Nikon VR 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

If you would like to see the photos from our summer visit to Bonaire go to August 2007 photo gallery You can see more of Alan’s photojournalism work for The New York Times at his web site. His underwater photography has been featured in the travel section of the paper.
