Hi Scubaboard, I had a chance to use a pre-production version of the Backscatter Hybrid Flash in January, I've put my observations and thoughts together in this review...

Hi Wolfgang, Yes that's what I mean, whatever is sharp is really sharp, but the depth-of-field is shallow if you don't close the aperture enough. See the backlit soft coral example and included 100% crops. In comparison, I am happy enough shooting the WACP-1 at F/7.1 - F/8, and will go to...

Thanks BoltSnap and tursiops, wrong copy-paste :)

Hi everyone, If you love wide-angle photography, you might be interested in my detailed review of the Nauticam FCP-1 (also on DivePhotoGuide)...

Less than 48 hours to go :)

Hi everyone, Alex Mustard and I will be analyzing our favorite shots amongst UPY 2024 winners, plus Ocean Art 2023 and DPG Masters 2023. These may or may not be category winners, photography is so subjective! This is next week (February 21st/22nd, depending on your timezone). Details here...

I forgot to mention, one-time tickets are on sale for US$38 / AU$59 and you can see the webinar timing in your specific timezone there on EventBrite: The Underwater Club

The support of image inversion in mirrorless cameras is lower than I was hoping for! Good to know on the A7R5 (and a bummer) OM1 I am not sure, but I played around the Z8/Z9 and couldn't find that function, repetitive Googling didn't help either.

Just the 150mm-long one, but you can do without it, to keep the EMWL shorter. In that scenario, the image looks upside down, so you either need a camera that can invert the view (like a Sony mirrorless) or one of the Nauticam reverse viewfinders.

Hey photographers, I have just finished a review of the Nauticam angled relay, which is a new accessory for their EMWL system of bug-eye lenses. In short, it makes it easier to frame your subject against a blue water background, sunball, model or all of the above. It's not suited for all...

I don't think such tables exist, but that's a great ideal, would be super useful.

Well one of his panos got printed 20 meters long :)

Hi all, I have long been a fan of Nicolas Barraque's wreck panoramas, for he shoots extra-large wrecks, typically over 250ft/70m in length, and manages to turn them into a single image! The conventional way to shoot wreck panos is to choose a spot near the center of the ship, and from there...

Hi there, I thought this might of interest to some: I am giving an online talk next month (22/23rd November) on how to use motion blur to fabricate textured background (all in-camera), a technique which I really like to use (some of my shots attached). It is based on using a very slow shutter...

Right I see what you mean now. I don't have the Z8 body anymore, but from memory I had the LCD screen tilted up. I had no issue toggling between EVF and LCD screen, which I think I did via the display lever, after having set "EVF only" and "LCD only" to be the only allowable modes (no...

Hi Aaron, Happy diving with the Z8! You're going to love it. I am not too sure on which rubber piece you're talking about (post a photo?) but I certainly have changed my viewfinder settings for underwater use, shifting between "EVF only" and "LCD screen only" modes, as I noticed the eye...

Hi all, I am hosting a webinar on selecring photos for competition, thought it might be of interest to some. There are 2 slots to choose from: one on Sunday evening (US time) and one on Monday evening (Australian time) or Monday morning (Europe). you can secure your spot there: Buy tickets for...

Hi Aaron, No offense taken, Alex's review has valuable insights and our field-observations nicely complements each others as he's tried the Z8 in tropical waters, while I focused on temperate waters. Unfortunately your Tokina won't be usable on the Z8 (or any Z camera at the moment) because...

And here is mine, also published by DivePhotoGuide: https://theunderwaterclub.com/nikon-z8-underwater-review/ It took a little while to come out, as I really wanted to spend enough time in the water, to try the camera in variable conditions, including low visibility, low light. Overall a strong...

Hi everyone, My sister and her partner are going to visit the Perhentian islands for a few days and asked me for recommendations on where to snorkel (they aren't scuba certified). I haven't been there and the previous threads I've found were dated/more around Scuba sites. So, could anyone...
