60d with a 60mm first try

[Jun Lao]

thanks to Ozziworld, I was able to test my new ikelite housing with twin ys110s using his 22 year old Ikelite port, i'm surprised how good 60mm captures macro, no teleconverters nor close up lenses used, first time dslr user coming from an oly compact, lovin dslr, its true what they say, dslr much much easier, save the prep time and heavy weight, no complaints on the shift

Jun Lao,
Great shots - always like all your pics, but I really love the twilight alien staring at me

Those are amazing pictures. I just got a T2i and 60 mm lens, and am awaiting the housing for the new camera. Like yourself, I'll be using YS-110a strobes. Looking forward to my first shots with DSLR as well ...

Jun Lao,

The Canon 60mm USM Macro lens is a great choice........Check out my recent Philippines shots (on the MAIN UW Photography Forum list, posted a few days ago) as that's what I used for all my macro shots.

Congrats on the new setup. There's no going back now ... it just gets more fun, more addicting, and WAY more expensive.

my first time use of a tokina 10-17... its a super wonderful lens, good thing I read all those uw tips from underwater photography guide, was initially getting lots of flare on the sides, till I remembered scott g's shared tips on shooting wide,, pull back the strobes, i should have done wb, was set at tungsten, shld have set at least at shade for warmer blues. still need practice, especially on metering

am back to shooting macro tomorrow, hiring a guide to look for the louis vuitton (saron) shrimp, tiger shrimp and the teddy bear crab, fingers crossed :shocked2:

Very nice shots! I have the same lens combo and could not be happier. I use them on a T2i and always shoot raw. Are you using DPP to develop them?

Gorgeous shots! I love my Tokina 10-17 with the 60mm being my next purchase. Thanks for sharing!
