Rocky and the way home

[SeaYoda]

Yes, the camera is back and I'm lovin' it! Here are a couple pics from the spring dive I did today. The first is a Rock-bass and the second is in a dark cavern looking toward the way home.

Nice. The second shot reminds me of the cenotes in Mexico. Very cool!

Great shots.

Glad to see you got your camera back in action.

Nice shots Yoda. So was the camera repair a freebie?

 

[SeaYoda]

Repair was deemed a "re-do" so they did a cleaning of the lens and sensor and some kind of focus adjustment then sent it back to me with no charge. All I'm out is the shipping cost to get it to them. I hardly knew the thing was gone before it came back. I'm dealing with California if I ever need work again.

The Rock Bass came out looking great.

I'm also very impressed with the amount of light output that strobe you have has put out on the second shot. I'm stuck to long, high ISO exposures for my cavern openings.

I'm thinking about dragging the tripod back to Morrison and weighting it back down in the cavern again... worked OK last time.

The cavern shot is a little grainy because I had to lighten up the exposure in RAWShooter and PS7 levels. Still was a lot of light from that inexpensive strobe. Maybe we can get a couple strobes together with your tripod and do some cool panorama work in the cavern. This shot revealed lots of detail that I have never seen with just dive lights down there. Even a grainy panorama could be very interesting. Do you think the remote would work underwater if it was in a watertight bag? If not, the self timer could help. We would probably have to get there way before the rototillers hit the beach .

Here's the cavern shot as it came from the camera:
