Today after 2 moths waiting to go diving I had the opportunity to try my UW photo equipment.
Its a disaster. I took many pictures and no fish are nice enough to be put on the web. Only those two friends which were posing for me are good enough.
It was of course my first try so I hope to be excused
I do believe that when I am diving without shooting pictures I do have a good buoyancy. When taking pictures if you can not have your fin on sand or something, having an hand holding a rock a good buoyancy is really not enough. This has to be perfect. I will do my best to practice this art. :sprite10: I did not now it was so difficult.
I need to know much more the camera and housing; distances from object, sensivity of the buttons... So different when using the housing compare on the camera directly. Not always easy and quick to change parameters under water.
For the first trials I did program P (Canon), I just played with the white balance, macro pictures, flash on flash off.
Seing the result I need to buy an external strobe. Still don't know if Inon, Ikelite or Sea&sea. Will look through the net and Scubaboard to make the good choice...
Said this I will continue read and searching on the web for info. I found already many, now its only time for practice and practice.
Enjoy your dives. Tuesday leaving for Pakistan and India for two weeks (work purpose) and so Monday will be the last day to see your pictures welcoming new members. I already missing the board :bawling:
