Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking and searching but this is my first post. I'm new to underwater photography and have just started diving (24 dives so far). I own a Canon G11 and it is my first quality camera.
1) How long have you been diving?
-Not long but I've got a good handle on buoyancy etc. certified advanced open water.
2) How many dives have you logged?
-24
3) How much experience with general photography do you have?
-No real experience.
4) Do you currently have a camera? Film? Digital? Digital
-Canon G11
5) How often do you dive?
-Just starting. I'm landlocked (Colorado) so not as much as I'd like.
6) What type of diving do you mostly do?
-Reefs, wrecks, etc.
7) Where do you do most of your diving?
-Been to Maui and will be headed to West Palm Beach in a month.
8) What do you think you may want to photograph the most?
-Larger animals but would like to have the option of shooting some smaller stuff too.
9) Do you have an idea what you may want already?
-I own the G11 but need advice on a housing and strobe.
10) How much do you expect to spend? Can you afford? Spent ~500 on the camera and expect to spend another ~1000 -1200. I'm willing to spend a little extra cash to get good quality equipment that I can grow into.
I've been doing a lot of research and would like some help in selecting a housing and strobe system.
-I would prefer fiber optic vs. electrical strobe connections (flooding & maintenance).
-I'll be traveling via. air to dive so size is a factor.
-Ease of use
Thanks!
