I had been to Palau many times but had never seen what is considered to be the most unpredictable and aggressive of all sharks. The boat manager on the Siren mentioned that her boyfriend was a Marine biologist and that they had been encountering bull sharks during a study they were conducting in Palau. I thought to myself, "I want a piece of that action". This wasn't to be a guided tour, but an off the beaten track, no holds barred, gonzo diving sort of thing. This is my diary of how it all went down...

Even at the lowest end, there are cheap DLSRs on offer that can be a huge step up from owning a compact camera. Like with all things, the key to getting what you need is doing your research. To get you started on the right path, here are a few things to consider. Buying your first digital SLR can be very exciting and once you have it in your hands, it can easily become an obsession. Just remember to take your time getting to know your camera before you lash out on all the bells and whistles. It is tempting to go out and buy filters, lenses, wireless flash rigs, lighting and all manner of cool toys but until you know the ins and outs of your camera, you wont be getting the most out of them. Instead buy new gear only when you need it because your current gear can't do something specific that you are attempting to achieve.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DIGITAL ASSETS Discover how a NAS system can secure your important files -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.wdthepowerofchoice.com/news3 Whether you are a photographer, filmmaker, designer, animator or CAD artist, your digital assets are the most important thing on your PC and are irreplacable. The worst thing that can happen to someone who works with media files is losing something crucially important, especially when you have to answer to a client who needs it yesterday. It is all well and good to say that we should all be backing up but let's face it, many people back up far less than they should, if at all. Thankfully, simply creating a back up is not the only way to protect your data and with the latest technologies available in personal storage, backing up doesn't have to be something you have to remember to do at all. It can be done for you. One of the most powerful tools that creative professionals can have in their workflow is a dedicated NAS device. NAS stands for Network Attached Storage and is pretty much how it sounds. It is a device, attached to your network where you can store all your files in one central location. However, it is more than merely another external hard drive. http://news.wdthepowerofchoice.com/em/message/email/view.php?id=918635&u=59024 READ MORE http://www.wdthepowerofchoice.com/news3 http://www.wdthepowerofchoice.com/news3 EXPLORE OUR EVENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------- WD at SITEX Selangor 2013 WD collaborated with SSIC Malaysia to take part in SITEX Selangor 2013, held at Shah Alam Convention Centre in April 2013.
