Loved the parrot fish and the stingray. Both very well done.

hey guys,

Sorry I've been out of pocket up until now. Times like this I wish I worked for a scuba magazine, but alas my job seems more like office space.

The strobe is an Ikelite DS-125. Really way more than I need, but I am hoping to eventually upgrade once i get the guts to put my SLR underwater.

I usually am shooting on the widest setting that the camera offers... no wide angle adapter though. The nice thing about FLICKR is that you can look at any of the settings of each picture if you want. All the file info is on display on the site... just click the more info hyperlink.

Hey really nice shots...

Please Please tell me that thay are not out of the box...

You worked on them a bit with photoshop Yes?

Hey tollie,

I shot RAW, then I did some quick adjustment to the levels and cropped a few of them a bit. But otherwise, no major work was done on any of them.

Great set! May I know what batteries you use with your SP350?

 

[tsreimer]

I used the rechargeable CR2V3 (or whatever the model number is) from radio shack. It lasts a long time, but i still recharge it every day just in case. It also helps that the flash is not being fired from my camera, but from my strobe... so that saves a lot of batteries too.

I thought so...CRV3 batts and charger are not available here in Manila,Philippines. My ANSMANN rechargeable batts( 2700) discharges after 30 minutes of diving. Bummer !

Yeah, my buddy uses double A's and his die out pretty quick... but he also uses the camera's internal flash, which doesn't help. It's pretty cheap over here for the charger and battery ($25 USD). It might be worth it to find a way to get it shipped to you over there.

BTW - Make sure you updated your firmware. I get through at least 1 and sometimes 2, 1G of RAW photos before my 2650mah rechargeables go kaput.
