Cabilao and Malapascua teasers pics

[Zeeman]

Some teasers from the Cabilao and Malapascua trip, my first foray into underwater photography with my new Inon D2000 strobe and Canon A640.

Slowly, I am learning, hope you enjoy...

Some strange crab

Ignore the fish - look harder

More shrimp things

don't you just love those anemone shrimp? they're totally invisible then all of a sudden BOOM they're there and you can see them and they pose for your pix...

good job on your first dive with a real camera

now... how about TTL?

Is that why I was having so many problems? Wish I had known that 2 weeks ago...

Zeeman nice pics, I'm interested in your Camera and Strobe settings and you thought on the Inon strobe.

I just got a A640 that i am using in an Ikelite housing with one of my old Ikelite Substrobe 50's but I would like to get a Inon 2000 or 2000s shortly so I am keenly interested in you thoughts.

Thanks

The AiAF autofocus system is very quick, although I find that it was inaccurate, locking on to background objects rather than the main foreground subject, especially when shooting very close-up subjects. Switching it to centre-point AF would solve your problem. Well at least one of many

Another teaser before I post a proper trip report/photo thread...

yes i found aiaf does focus on the whole frame, with center focus af locks on the subject in the middle. set metering mode to center weighted as well.
