Just got back from a trip to American Samoa, where we got to visit our 51st USA National Park, in fact the closest one to home in Australia! Now only the 8 parks in Alaska to go……
Here's an image from Ofu Island, the jewell in the crown of this National Park….and quite an adventure getting there. This is an image I had in mind before the trip, and my new underwater camera came through big time. Its a combination of 2 images taken from the same spot, and then merged together. My main camera bit the dust soon after this as I was close to the shoreline and an errant wave splashed across it. It wasn't that big of a wave so I was surprised it killed the camera. Luckily the back-up camera filled in nicely for the rest of the trip.

Kind of ironic that a splash of water makes a camera bite the dust.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

I wrecked a shutter screen on a film camera when I took a dip with it over my shoulder.
I too like the split screen view.

Very cool image, I'm glad your idea "came together". Sorry to hear about your camera.
