Hey Guys,
Recently got back from a couple weeks in Palau -- It was amazing . After about 12 years of diving, I finally decided to give underwater photo a go. I definitely loved it, and wound up taking close to 6,000 pictures. This was my first attempt at photography, let alone underwater, so I'd really appreciate any comments/feedback you guys could give me.
I shot with a G9 in an Ikelite housing with a Z240 strobe. Almost every picture below was shot with the short port and Inon close up lens. I had a lot of trouble getting anything decent without this lens, even with a W-20 wide angle lens. All in all I was pretty happy with the camera, given the price. The two big negatives I found with the setup were: Graininess above ISO100 and slow/poor auto focus (I found to get really sharp focus on anything moving, I had to use manual focus and take a bunch of shots until I got lucky).
Anyway, here are the pics:
