    Best Settings for E-PM1 + 60mm macro

    About black /dark exposures: I had these problems on some dives, even with a strobe, in the beginning. Lights/strobes has to be in the right angle, and when you have little experience, this can happen. Just a few cm off is enough sometimes. Or maybe the lights just isn't strong enough.. Usually...

    Best Settings for E-PM1 + 60mm macro

    I think your photos have some color cast to them. Shooting macro with one strobe are usually enough, if you don't want to experiment... Here is an example with PM1:

    Anyone doing video on an OMD?

    I have only used the video option on my PEN sparingly, as I have redifined the Videorec button.....but, I used to have a Gopro mounted on the rig if something nice appeared :) I flooded it, and have replaced it with a cheap Elephone Explorer Pro GoPro clone. It took a lot of time to edit the...

    Apeks RK3 Fins

    Well, my Seawing Nova's finally broke after 3 & a half years use.... The best I could find while on holiday in the Philippines was Apex RK3. Nice fins, escpecially when maneuvering in tight spaces, but not as good as the Nova's in my opinion. RK3 are smaller,maybe lighter(had Nova XL), but I...

    Mares Xvision Liquidskin leaking

    Hi! I recently bought this mask with + 2.5 optical lenses, but it leaks all the time. Have tried different ways to minimize the leaks, adjusting the straps,etc,but it does not seem to help. My former mask was a Scuba pro Crystal Vu, which did not leak at all. My question is, which other Mares...

    So many fin options?

    Been through some fins now, first pair was Apollo Biofins, which was sold pretty fast, too heavy when travelling,. Next was Scuba pro Twin Jet max, good but not enough power in currents. So someone showed me the Scuba pro Novas, which h lasted until a week ago (almost 4 years) before they broke...

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    I'm in loss for words..a very helpful and kind voice on ScubaBoard is gone.. My condolences to her husband and family. She must have made a sincere impression on divers from all over the world, and will be missed. I almost lost my own wife some years ago, and when we where in doubt how to...

    Olympus E-PM1 still a viable option?

    For good photos, you will need a strobe. I have the PM1, and have at last got 2 x Inon S 2000 (light weight for travel). You have bought a very Dea sent camera for UW photography. It is through one behind the camera who makes a good photo, not the equipment. I have a friend who shoots amazing...

    Who hates their White Fusion Dry Suit?

    No problems with my Tech version...Even used it in the Red Sea, cold winds chill you down when you get out of the water... Don't dive som much dry nowadays, but when I do, it's like diving a 5mm wetsuit...and I think the other divers look a bit funny hanging almost vertical in the water :-)
