    Getting ATM pesos in Manila..

    As far as I know, there is no ATM for HSBC here. But local ATMs are linked by Cirrus/Bancnet/Megalink/expressnet. You can ask your bank regarding local partners (BPI, BDO, Citi, etc)

    Flash Sync speed for the OLY xz-1 Camera

    "Importantly, it's possible to sync these flashes right up to the fastest shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second, although their range will be somewhat limited above 1/500 s. The official specifications do not mention the type of shutter used in the Olympus XZ-1 but it's definitely not a...

    XZ1 prints

    Hi all, I've been doing prints that are A4 size or less at max resolution. I'm wondering what the max possible size (high quality) is given that the shot is uncropped with ISOs 100-200. Thanks

    2nd strobe or Macro Lens? - S110 Setup

    I was in the same boat last quarter, another lens or a 2nd strobe. I was lucky enough to receive a subsee+10 as a gift (which I enjoyed using with a single strobe and sometimes stacked with the inon165). I got the 2nd strobe after a few months since I'll be going to Tubbataha this year. If im...

    Buy a 2nd strobe or a wide angle wetlens

    Thats my go to decision making technique! :D I only shoot macro during my weekend dives in Anilao, Im considering the wide angle only because I'll be staying for a week in Tubbataha. Maybe i'll just get the strobe and find a kind hearted person to lend me a lens for the trip. Thanks Bill!

    Buy a 2nd strobe or a wide angle wetlens

    Hi all, I'm using an oly XZ1 with a single Inon S2000, I usually pair it with my Subsee +10 and/or Inon 165. I'd like to get both but my wallet dictates otherwise.:no::shakehead: What would you do? grab a z240 or a wide angle lens? Thanks

    Anilao on the cheap?

    Stayed in Anilao Backpackers. Really good place if on a budget. and the owners will let you know if other divers are joining so you can ssplit boat costs. The owners are all photographers too, so a good guide can definitely be arranged. Sometimes theyll join you! my last dive there, it was me...

    Want to learn to dive in Moalboal!

    You can also do an introductory/DSD so you'll have a better idea if you want to pursue training and certification. Thats more practical than paying for a cert then suddenly realize its something you dont really like doing.

    Buoyancy advice for starting uw photography

    based on my experience, air consumption was the thing that changed. But that was after 100+ dives. Seeing a photo subject made me excited and i used up more air than usual.

    RX 100 Housing

    youu have to factor in tho that the GoPro housing only has 2 buttons compared to a compact housing which has 8+. More failure points. The one you posted looks similar to the meikon/meike brands and I know people that use them. Quality is hit and miss tho, one person's housing is doing great...

    missing a shot UW because of not having the right lens

    you can use a 14-42 and mate it with both the WA and closeup lenses. Over time, you may want to be more specific in what you want to shoot. That's what happened to me, I snapped at everything at first, then as I progressed, I leaned in to macro. you can also bring a compact with your dslr...
