First photos with the E-M5 & NA-EM5

Shaker, those are great pictures.

What strobe(s) are used in the Red Sea images?

The first day i had a couple of Inon strobes, the D-2000 and the S-2000. The second day the S-2000 refused to work, it seems to be "burned"
(no flooding), I never liked it anyway! So most of the time i only had the D-2000.
I would add that a didn't use my focus light so much, the E-M5 autofocus was fast is most of situations.

those are GREAT photos love em! I need to see if I can do those half half shots myself with the E-PL3 and 9-18 lens I use in my Oly housing. Care to share your settings? Thanks

Wow. Amazing pics.

The first red sea pic really blows me away.
I wish I could afford a similar setup.

very nice shots!


do you have a pic of your setup, perhaps with a magazine in the frame to gauge sizing?

thanks

Inspiring stuff! Thanks for posting.

I've already got the E-M5, so now all I need is the housing and some talent and I'll be able to make pictures like this too!

I'd also be interested in your settings if you care to share - in particular the white balance settings...

Hi, thanks and sorry for the delay.

@ Scubanomad: all of my Photos have the EXIf info, so you can find easily all the settings. i don't have a lot experiences with half half photography, but a learned that i have to avoid scenes with high contrast when the top is bright and the bottom in shadows and dark. The first photo with the bride is an example of a bad lighting situation, the second one (4th. on the list) with the same bride is better.

@ danpass:



This setup is slightly negativ in water. My 10Bar for the LX5 with a 5"dome port was much heavier.
Without the 2 flashes the setup is positive.

@ Guitarfish64:
I always shoot RAW and never make WB correction when i use strobes.
I do WB correction only if there's only day lighting, it's a subjective task and depends on the water depth.
Here's an example:

My settings in APERTURE: Temp.:46650k, Tint: 137
