White Sea - Ice diving

Submitted by andre on Mon, 02/13/2012 - 21:40

For years we have been waiting for a suitable moment to go ice diving. Unfortunately circumstances have not been ideal in the western part of Europe for a decent ice dive. To increase our chances for a beautiful ice dive we take off to the northern part of Europe. Here we will have a guaranty for ice, cold and nice people.

Humboldt Squids in Duikmagazine and Dive New Zealand

Submitted by andre on Fri, 02/03/2012 - 10:00

Today is Humboldt Squid day. I just got a copy of "Duikmagazine", the best diving magazine that we have here in the Netherlands. The magazine features an eight page story about Humboldt Squids that I made last September. That trip brought us far into the Sea of Cortez. I was on a live aboard expedition with the goal to find these enormous Red Giants. It took a lot of time before we finally found the animals, but at least we found them. Duikmagazine has used one of my Humboldt Squid images for the cover.

Sharks of Cape Town article in DiveStyle Magazine

Submitted by andre on Sun, 01/29/2012 - 22:06

I am currently running running a story about the Sharks of Cape town in the South African diving magazine DiveStyle. I love South Africa and I do love Cape Town. Our latest trip to South Africa brought us to various places including Cape Town. This is really a town that I can recommend. The city is great. The Table Mountain is great. The diving is more than great. Imagine a place where you can easily find Seven Gill Sharks, Mako's, Blue Sharks and Great White Sharks just to name a few. We visited Cape Town together with our twin girls who were only 18 months at that time.

Lezing van André Crone tijdens de Duikvaker - Duik eens in een andere wereld

Submitted by andre on Thu, 01/19/2012 - 22:33

Mooie tropische riffen, warm water en uitrusten onder een Palmboom, dat is wat veel duikers onder een duikvakantie verstaan. Koude bestemmingen, zoals Antarctica, lijken veel minder tot de verbeelding te spreken. Toch kan duiken in (sub) arctisch en antarctisch water fantastisch zijn. Dat zijn koude bestemmingen die door de gemiddelde duiker niet bezocht worden. Wie krijgt er een vakantiegevoel bij de gedachte om te gaan duiken onder 70cm dik ijs!

Join Andre Crone on a Sailfish expedition - In the footsteps of the BBC

Submitted by andre on Sun, 12/11/2011 - 21:39

Andre Crone - Elysia Productions will, following the successful journey in 2011, lead an exclusive expedition to Mexico in 2012. The purpose of this expedition is photographing Sailfish. Sailfish are the fastest fish in the world and their hunting behavior is spectacular. The past year the trip was such a success that we decided to return in 2012. There are very few people who have seen this phenomenon since this is only done 5 or 6 years now.

Deel 4 - Flitsers

Submitted by andre on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 23:53

In de vorige aflevering hebben we gezien dat kleuren onder water verdwijnen doordat water niet alle kleuren van het zonlicht even gemakkelijk doorlaat. Hierdoor ontstaan blauwe, contrastarme opnames. Dit kun je voorkomen door een roodfilter te gebruiken. Een roodfilter werkt alleen goed als er voldoende licht aanwezig is. Als dat niet het geval is, kun je altijd zelf nog licht meenemen: flitsers.

Exclusive 2012 Sardine Run Photo Expedition by André Crone - Elysia Productions

Submitted by andre on Tue, 08/30/2011 - 15:32

André Crone together with African Watersports will organize a photography trip to South Africa for the Sardine Run next year. This trip is planned from 5-11 July 2012. The Sardine Run is the most impressive showcase of natural predation in the world. Vast schools of Sardines are swept along the eastern coast of South Africa by an enormous body of cold water. These Sardines attract Dolphins, Humpback Whales, Brydes Whales, birds and many different kinds of sharks that all predate on the Sardines.

Deel 3 - De natuur van licht

Submitted by andre on Tue, 08/09/2011 - 00:52

Niemand weet hoe de onderwaterwereld er in het echt uitziet. De kleuren op analoge foto’s zijn eigenlijk de kleuren die de chemici van Kodak en Fuji voor ons hebben bedacht. Wat wij zelf onder water waarnemen, wordt door onze hersenen bepaald. Het is een aanname. In dit artikel zullen we zien wat er gebeurt als onder water zonlicht wordt gebruikt om te fotograferen.

Go Pro - Light & Motion Sola 600 to Seacam Adapter

Submitted by andre on Sat, 07/30/2011 - 21:10

I am planning to take a lot of stuff underwater for my upcoming photo expedition. One of the items is a small Go Pro Hero action camera. These cameras are capable of filming in full HD resolution. I hope to film some of the making-of and behind-the-scenes stuff with this camera. I will post these videos here on my blog. Taking video is will become inevitable for underwater photographers since media are changing continiously. An example of this are the many iPad magazines that are coming out at the moment. Luckily most modern dSLR camera are capable of filming in HD resolution too.

Cover of Duikmagazine

Submitted by andre on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 13:46

I received a stack of the newest issue of Duikmagazine today. That issue holds four articles by me and my wife. I personally like how they have published our biological story about Dolphins. Our other biological story in this issue is about Caribean Reef Sharks. Both the Dolphins and Shark article were shot in the Bahamas last year. Snorkeling with these magnificent animals is always a treat.

Cover of DiveStyle and Neptune magazine

Submitted by andre on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 20:49

I just spent three weeks in South Africa where I just started to cooperate with DiveStyle magazine. I knew they were planning my Tasmania article somewhere during this summer. But I was still surprised to see that my article came out almost on the same day that we landed in South Africa. I walked into a dive shop and there I found out that they even used one of my images as the cover image for DiveStyle magazine.

Daddy's Girls

Submitted by andre on Sun, 07/17/2011 - 22:51

We just returned from South Africa today. We visited one of my favorite diving countries for three weeks. Our first stop was at Umkomaas where we stayed for over a week. Umkomaas offers great diving and lots, lots of Sharks! We had great luck with the visibility at the wrecks of Umkomaas, really Red Sea visibility. More about Umkomaas and our South Africa trip later on this blog and "Duikmagazine". We are organizing a fantastic South Africa expedition for next year for which we will have six places available.

Cover of Onderwatersport

Submitted by andre on Sat, 04/30/2011 - 10:46

I must be too busy I am afraid. I knew that my story about Tasmania would be published in the Dutch magazine “Onderwatersport”, but I totally missed it. The March issue was on my desk when the May issue came in. I found the April issue, after some searching, in my unprocessed magazines pile.
