Me on the Kittiwake, Grand Cayman

Some photos over the last couple years taken right in my back yard

Hi Everyone: I would also agree that this is a great combo lens--probably the best out there. I just got back from 10 days of diving in Anilao, Philippines and used this lens on 80% of my dives. I also used an 8 mm Panasonic for some better w/a, and if you like that type of photography, you...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experience. Once again, this seems to be happening often enough that it is a problem, especially for a camera this expensive.

Looks like a string. Do you have a port cover or a strobe diffuser that is attached by string?

I have the OM-D EM-5, and I think you can definitely go higher on iso with that camera as well. So for macro, get close and use iso 200, for distance (wider angle) keep it at 200, and go up to 400, 600, 800 as needed. Also, with manual, you can keep your shutter speed at at least 1/60 and that...

Hi Guy: I have the same system, except that I am using Panasonic 8 mm fisheye for W/A. I put my video focus on continuous plus tracking, and it does quite well. I had a lot more trouble getting it to track with the Pan. 45 mm macro, but haven't done much macro video yet, and plan to get an...

Definitely excellent!!

Great shots Jak! Channel Islands are beautiful this time of year, and you did a great job capturing them.

Just got back from a dive trip and the control wheel cover fell off my camera. The camera would still work, but the contorl wheel is not operable within my Nauticam Housing. Apparently this problem has happened to several others. I mailed the camera back to Olympus to be serviced, and they...

Beautiful color! Love the little blenny!

Hi BT: Recommending a strobe is hard for me right now, because I have had a lot of issues with my Sea and Sea YS D1 strobes. There is an intermittent problem with these strobes that causes them to shut down and give you a low battery warning, even with freshly charged batteries. I returned my...

Sea and Sea was prompt in replacing my defective strobes, and the new ones worked initially, but then died on our second trip. Both my wife and I have had issues--continually getting the red and green flashing low battery indicator, even with fresh batteries. So now we have had 6/6 strobes...

Thanks so much to everyone who commented on the photos! For this trip, I used my strobes on TTL, and I typically start out with F8, 1/160 iso 200 and work from there.

I am loving my new camera rig. After carting around a huge Ikelite housing and Canon 50D SLR, I have upgraded to the Olympus OM-D EM-5 with Nauticam housing. I say upgraded, because my new rig weighs 15 pounds less, and performs better imho. I love the way Nauticam has built this housing with...

Thanks Jim--I've been enjoying your pics from Cozumel for quite a while. I see that you enjoy diving with Jesus too:)

I am now the proud owner of an Olympus OM-D EM-5 with the Nauticam housing (thanks Bluewater Photo!). Right now I'm using the Panasonic 45 mm lens for macro and the Panny 8 mm for W/A. I love the 8mm wide angle--it focuses quickly and beautifully, and produces great images. I just got back...

I recently purchased the E-M5 camera and Nauticam housing and have been shooting with the Panny 45 mm macro and 8 mm fisheye. I did some comparisons against my old camera system which is a Canon 50D with Canon 60 mm macro lens and Tokina 10-17 fisheye. I thought that the Olympus camera with 45...

I recently bought two of these strobes, and both stopped firing on the first dive, giving me an alternate green and red flashing signal which is to indicate low batteries. But my batteries were freshly charged, and tested as such. Several others on the same trip had the same problem. The...

Thanks L, I let my wife take the tanks in--that may have been part of the problem:-)
