Hans,
Nice shots, under water photography is something else
These creatures are really colorful

[valice]

Investment in equipment wise also very "something else".
I'm an occasional diver too. Only open waters.

Some of the creatures are really beautiful.

Been diving since 1982.

Reckon with strobe the pics will turn out even better

Nice pics. I dive too but haven't been doing so for a long time. I have always been fascinated by these underwater photographs. Maybe someday if I pick up diving again, I may invest in the equipment.

I was using a C5060 with 2 Sunpaq strobe. Good enough for macro but not enough for wide. For macro pictures, try to go as low as possible. The composition will normally be easier too. Something like this

If you like macro, grab an Inon or Epoque Macro lense as its very useful, giving you very nice manification.

It depends on how you define "something else". The recent models of Canon and Olympus have cheap housing that cost about $250-350. A manual strobe cost about $500-700.

Unless you are thinking of bring your DSLR down which will cost about $2-3k for the normal set up.

Let me know if you are interested to grab any thing. I have a very good friend selling all these stuff.


I haven't been diving for long as I find short trips not enough kick and long trip too tiring (especially when diving with Singaporeans...keke...) So far I like Sipadan Water Village most as the unlimited house reef dives allows me to rest under the jetty watching barracudas swim pass.

Billy,
I think we need to talk more this Sunday when we meet up. So many things to ask you about underwater photography.

I didn't know that!

Still, this discipline is way out of my league. I can't afford it. Although I do enjoy pictures from under the deep blue very much.

Cheers,

Friend,
I told you that since long long ago....
Remember that time I was pestering you to go diving with me? And I was even at a few Comex/ PC show helping my friend sell these stuff.
And it is DEFINITELY NOT out your league.....

Not a problem, but set your expectation right, I only know the basics.
