The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

[BHB ScubaTroll]

I got into the water with my new rig for the first time. I used Auto settings for all shots and no strobe. I just wanted to see what the camera could do before messing with settings and the strobes...

Hmmm... I think I might just keep the rig and work with it...

Shot some test shots on the way out... This is the very first shot underwater with the new rig

Some more test shots

Next... some of the shots that came out during the dive...

Attack of the killer Arrow Crab!

A Bullnose Ray out sanding himself

This juvenile Grey Angelfish was the size of my fingernail

I think this Pipefish was getting mad at the number of shots I was taking...

The ever-elusive KBeckfish (With her brand new camera!)

Finish it off with some Octos and a nine-arm Starfish

It feels good to be back in the water with a rig in my hands! I was starting to get a twitch without a camera... twisting and turning to point things out to people... lol

What rig are you using?

My SeaLife DC600 died in January.

I bought a Canon Powershot A570 IS with Ikelite housing Nemrod was selling here on the board...

The camera itself can be purchased on eBay for around $70-80 now, so I have available replacements for now.

I agree that these are great shots. I especially liked the wreck and the close-up of the octopus eye. This demonstrates that you can get some very nice shots with modest equipment and ambient light. What makes these good is the skill of the photographer, not expensive equipment.

Hey CoolTech, I take back all my sarcastic posts about BHB after viewing these great shots. We will have to meet sometime.
