    mabul/sipadan in december

    I went with Seaventures in June, and went to Sipadan twice in 4 days of diving. Ask for DM's Taufik and Cat. Taufik's a superstar when it comes to critter hunting and DM Cat found me my first Pygmy Seahorse! Thomas, the Resort Manager is great to work with too... Hope you have fun, and I'm jealous!

    Using Manual on D161 strobes

    Ahh... Thanks for clarifying, Brett. See, i knew it was an ID10T error.. =) Thanks for your advice to leave strobes on TTL and adjusting exposure based on the rear housing buttons, but that leaves me with no room to adjust individual strobe intensity when using dual strobes... That's why i went...

    Upgrading

    I actually bought a housing for my backup camera (40D). After messing around with it, I realized that I was better off housing my primary (5D2). Ended up exchanging it for the 5D2 housing. Of course, that meant a little more money. However, the FF capabilities really worked for me. I have a 15mm...

    Using Manual on D161 strobes

    I use the 5D2 in the Ikelite Housing, with the 8" dome. Dual 160's are usually positioned BEHIND the dome, be it close to the housing or fully extended. They are also pointing away from the subject for most part, unless it's crystal clear water and I'm like 2 " away from the subject where I...

    Ikelite Customer Service..LIKE..

    Just wanted to post a shoutout to Ikelite's impecable customer service.. Sent my 5D2 housing in to get the ISO button fixed, since there was some minor corrosion and leakage. Upon removing the tray handles, I found out that there were cracks at the bottom of the housing where the mounting bolts...

    Is "slave labor" a rite of passage for DM candidate?

    The usual tank hauling, rinsing of gear, air logging, etc is to be expected, and I had a blast when I was doing my DM internship.. I dun care, as long as I get to dive every single day!! But i think mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms is really pushing it.... Anyhows, enjoy yourself! I'm sure...

    Sharpen an image

    Sweet! I like the idea of down sizing and removing unwanted elements of the photo and blowing it up again.. Just wondering if I shrink and enlarge the picture, how much quality loss is there, as PS will probably fill in the image with 'extra' pixels...

    Sharpen an image

    Hi there, Having encountered ‘problems’ with sharpening itself, I’ve done a fair bit of research and experiments on my images. First off, I found out that sharpening is a beast in itself. There are many different methods to be used for the different mediums in which your...
