First time olympus 5050 newbie pictures

[Dryglove]

Well everything came in as scheduled and i had a chance to give it a try today. I have to admit i had a good time. I chose Breakwater in monterey as my testing grounds.

I received some very handy tips from this board and a few others plus Dee sent me some very good information. I actually managed to get some decent photos. I still have a long road ahead of me as i still dont fully understand how and when to use shutter speed, aperture, and strobe settings. I have a lot more reading to do on those subjects.

I chose the olympus 5050 camera, olympus PT-015 housing, sea and sea YS 90DX strobe with FO kit and a fisheye tray. I really like the set up and all the buttons became less intimadating after i learned what they were for

Here are a few pics if i can get them to work

I'm hoping to get a 5050 or 5060 from Santa and hopefully will be able to do the same thing!
