Hey guys, need some advice. Currently I gave an EPL5, which works fine, but isn't very ergonomically in controls. I was considering upgrading the case an camera to an EM1. I know the Nauticam case for the EM1 allows for much more convenient control of the camera. Also, this upgrade would allow...

I don't think this is the same. Although the visual symptoms look the same (measle like bumps), neither me nor my gf has any pain or discomfort. No itching whatsoever, just a few pimple/measle like bumps. My gf had it a lot more than me and is going to the doctor tomorrow. Another possibility...

So, my gf and I went for snorkeling (i was scuba diving she was snorkeling). And we both experienced an unconformable stinging sensation on the surface. I did not experience it under water but on the surface it felt like tiny jelly fish stings. I had a few rash spots appear on some exposed...

I thought about that, and though technically you wouldn't add weight, you are probably right that both cases have the same net effect regarding overall buoyancy. Maybe I can put some heavy plates underneath my feet in the fins and see what that does, and just lose half a kg or so on my belt...

because as I mentioned, I don't like ankle weights. It's uncomfortable, and adds weight. I prefer not adding weight.

So quatros and rocket 2. I'll check that out. @licus, Thanks for the info but I think maybe u want cheat because I was asking for not heavy/stiff fins. Just fiks that are negatively buoyant. :)

Guys, I have a question related to this. I currently have scubapro Nova Wings. They are brilliant fins, but have one drawback: They make my feet float, which makes it damn hard to manoeuvre (especially reversing). I'm using neoprene zip boots. I'm looking for a solution to bring buoyancy to...

I have an Olympus EPL5 at the moment, with a Nauticam housing. The setup is nice. It's relatively small and compact, good for travel. However I have been contemplating a housing for my D800E (currently mostly used for studio, portrait and strobist stuff), and I wonder what people's opinions on...

I don't think you lose much on macro. You can get a 60mm or 105mm macro lens. However, for wide angle you lose out significantly. I.e. to get a high quality wide angle for DX you'd have to lash out much more than would be required for a FX camera to get the same angle of view and optical...

ah, you are talking about "feathering" the strobe, yeah, turning it away from the subject so only the sides of the lightbeam touch the subject would reduce backscatter. As fro the difference in light, I might have either switched off the right strobe, or pointed it outwards too much, or maybe...

I had it to the side but I guess I should have checked the LCD better and pushed out the strobe further. I actually used 2 strobes. When you say "aiming right in front", what do you mean with that? Surely you don't mean straight from the front of teh camera directly to teh subject? because that...

Guys, I got an issue with removing some backscatter. I know there's the spot removal tool in Lightroom, and that works for small quantities, but not for large quantities of backscatter. For the latter I use either median or dust & scratch removal filters. However, if the backscatter is...

The pleasure was all mine Mike! I'll be getting some opportunities to practise soon, and hopefully when I see you guys again, I'll be ready for the next step :)

Greetings all, and a happy new year! I thought I'd start the new year with a review of an underwater photography workshop I attended during my dive holiday on Bali. I've been a land based photographer for a long time, and being new to scuba diving I wanted to extend that experience with UW...

The topic sums it up. I'm looking for these two items. I'm located in Shanghai, and I may be going to Hong Kong in the next week or two. With Christmas I'll be on Bali. So if someone happens to know where (shop) in these 3 locations I can get the knife and related plate, that'd be great! As a...

Thanks, I received the Euro L size and it fits like a glove! So far I like it a lot (though the grips for the weight release feels a bit flimsy. I always wonder if one day I may break it...). I look forward to using it! Coupel of additional questions: I liek the holes and loops on the weight...

Sorry to drag up this discussion again, but fo me it's quite topical... Actually, PADI uses Scuba Earth as their log provider. I found that scuba earth automatically updated my profile to include my last 2 specialties. I sure as hell didn't put them on there myself! I too started generating a...

definitely an awesome pic!
