Pictures from Epl2

[Robwest]

This week I came back from a holiday in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
After shooting with a Nikon D70 and a Sealux housing for 3 years I have now switched to an Olympus EPL2 with Olympus housing.
Together with 2x Sea & Sea YS-110a strobes, Sola 600 video/focus light, Inon UCL-165M67 close-up lens
and a Panasonic/Leica 45mm macro lens.

It took some getting used to during the first dives, but then the pictures were getting better and better, I intend to add some floating materials to improve the buoyancy of the set.

Sweet...What settings did you use????

Nice. I think you have mastered the black background effect.
Nice first post!

The settings for these pictures are: ISO 200, f22, 1/160.
Strobes at 60% and angled in the direction of the camera, which helps to create the black background effect.

What lens did you use? inon wet lens or 45 mm macro?

The Panasonic/Leica 45mm macro lens mostly in combination with the Inon wet lens.
