Faru, Maldives - Pics From This Week

[pwfletcher]

I just returned to Paris today from Faru in the Maldives. It was the first time that I used my new "smaller" set up consisting of a Canon S400 with matching Canon UW housing. I have alot to say about the camera and the location, but here are a few low res examples until I get back across the pond to Cali.

I really like the first one of the anemone but they could all be improved just a bit with better strobe placement. Other than that they look great!

Nice shots and I might add, nice location.

Nice pics, also look like you have the perfect spot to off gas between diving as well!

You're right Dee ... I was actually using no strobe on these. I have a Sea&Sea 90 on my D100, but am using this smaller setup without a strobe when I don't want to carry all of my gear. I must say, however, that I am quite pleased with how well these came out for being such a relatively cheap (>$500 for camera, memory, and housing) set up. Still, I may add a small focus light as I was unable to get a lock sometimes when sticking the camera in a hole.
