Here are some pics with my new camera setup

[ssra30]

Hi, please check these pictures out and let me know what you think. More advices are always appreciated. These pictures were taken a few days ago on my trip to Similan islands and Richelliue Rock. I have Olympus C4040, Ikelite housing and DS125 strobe.
On land, I generally am a point and shoot kind of guy so this is also the first time I attempted some manual setting as well. Thanks god for digital camera . Anyhow, I tried the Olympus with PT10 and no strobe on a few previous trips but I just got this housing and strobe not too long ago. I was going to try it out on a trip last month but the weather was not cooperating so this trip was also a crash course for my strobe as well. I did try both TTL and manual setting on the strobe as well. my scuba page

I swear that is the third time now that I have seen the same cuttlefish in that area - I reckon they are siamese twins, either that or still very much in lurrve!!

You've got some great shots in there. Is there a way to view them in a larger format, the thumbnails don't show the details.

The Cuttlefish was from Richelliue. There were 4 of them, 1 female and 3 males who are fighting for love . Unfortunately I had macro lens which I burrowed from the boat and was experimenting. When I saw the cuttlefish, I forgot to take the macro lens off :-(. I was wondering why I was having so much problem and sad tosay, the focus was not ideal. I guess I will need to go back and see if they are still around next season.

I put up a few more larger pics. Look like this is as big as geocities would let me put on the page.I guess I will have to find a better way to post these pics. Dee, thanks for comment, any particular pictures you want to see a larger version of?

I wanted a better view of the macro shots...the shrimp are all cool! I love the Sweetlips, too.

The cuddlefish colors are amazing.
