Yeah, my camera's finally out of the shop. First shots with the new HW converter and YS-110. Still haven't got the angle and distance quite figured out for the new stuff, but the beams really wide and well balanced, with no hotspots and the self cancelling spotting light works great-except that you have to point your strobe straight at the subject, which causes backscatter and scares some of the critters away. Haven't tried the diffuser yet, and I think I'll try turning the light away after the camera holds focus. Here are a few from yesterday.
Big Lingcod
Male Kelp Greenling
Missed slightly on this guy, but I liked the way the translucency of the fin shows up.
Goby on an Orange Ball Sponge
Blue Rockfish
White nudies and a purple ring top (jewelled) snail on the shale.
