    Watched a Macro Utube re torch photo's

    Hi all, watched a Utube video and the guy was talking about macro photos with a 5600k torch held just about the object. He only did macro out of the water but had some good ideas. Just wonder if this is a thing! Has anyone here tried this and any pics? PS should this be in lighting?

    Anybody tried the 60mm lens set to 1:1?

    I often wondered what the 1:1 switch did and having just read up on it, maybe it has a use. The problem is that if you use AF the 1:1 automatically switches off. So you have to use manual Focus. Having just got back from Bali I realise I am not getting full 1:1 out of many of my shots. In some...

    Is it time to split the site?

    Over the last few years, most posts relate to TG use with a lesser number being about EM/OM cameras and housings. What do you reckon is it worth a split? I have no great issue but I find I don't read TG posts and I assume TG users don't read the stuff I'm interested in.

    HI guys, I'm going up with my partner in late October and looking for a few days with white beaches, coral and snorkelling. My partner doesn't dive so I will have a few days at LDR diving before we move on to a place where she can snorkel from a beach preferably. The google search brought up...

    EM5 mk 2 v EM1 mk 2

    I have the EM5 2 in an Oly housing and I use the EM1 mk 2 for bird and general photography. I thought to myself that I would sell the EM5 with housing and flat port and buy the AOI housing and bring my camera ownership into one body. I got a decent price on the AOI housing and almost pushed the...

    How much light do you need to light 1:1 macro?

    Hi guys, just got back from bali and 2 of the good macro divers have BS MF-2 = snoot strobes for macro combined with a pair of flashes. There seems to be very little light needed to light macro with the flash less than a few inches away. Got me wondering if a powerful torch with a snoot might...

    Halley's Comet EEL

    The last time Halley's comet passed over in 1985/6 there was much talk about Halley's eel that was shown on the bayeux tapestry in 1066. I read an article in Scuba Diver magazine about a diver in New Zealand who photographed the eel, the first photo of one in the ocean. They have been taken by...
