macro

I just moved to Camiguin and there is awesome macro, to my pleasant surprise. Some of the dive sites look quite similar to Dauin/Dumaguete, which more divers will be familiar with: dark sand, some seagrass, and lots of unusual critters. I made this video from footage shot during only one dive:

Hello all, I was fortunate to get my hands on a 1dx mark II a few weeks ago, along with an underwater housing for it. Did a last minute trip to the Philippines to test this out. It is a short video, and I did a mix of macro and wide angle. I used the 100mm F2.8L and some shots with a +10...

Hi there, I would like to pick your brains on an idea. Project I would like to have a GoPro 3+ red filter mount capable to be flexible enough to: - grab some footage outside the water - without red filter - take large plans footer at dive levels - with red filter - take close-ups of marine...

Hi, I am still a newbie with 50 dives and thinking about diving trip to Cebu for 8 days. I like macro diving and have been to Puerto Galera, Mabul and Bali. Can anyone recommend if Cebu is good for macro as well? I was thinking about Moalboal/ Mactan - are they good?

Hi all, I'm new to diving and as I have a real passion for photography I want to invest in a camera I can take on dives with me. Most of the divers I've been out with have the gopro hero 4 but I'm mostly interested in macro shots rather than filming so I'm keen on the tg-4. I'm a bit confused...

Hi all, as many others, I am trying to figure out what lenses I should pack for an upcoming trip. I will use an a6000 in a meikon housing, so my choice is restricted to lenses fitting into the meikon housing (I am planning to see, if I can extend the length of the "port", but won´t be able to...

I've heard lots of great things recently about the Olympus TG-4 particularly for macro shooting so I've been thinking of getting one for my wife. Does anyone know how the image quality for macro situations compares to the old Olympus E-PL1 in Olympus housing with the 14-42 lens & wet lens...

I'll soon be heading off to Anilao for some macro photography and I'm thinking that I'll finally be trying my hand at using a snoot. However, I'm a little lost as to which type or make to get. I've got 2 Inon Z240 strobes to go along with my Olympus E-M1 and 60 mm macro lens. Does anyone have...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my latest short film effort. I don't know about the rest of you, but whenever I am macro diving, I always have to take step back and think about how crazy looking and acting the animals are down there. To me, I think of Aliens! Have a look at my new film...

The camera is made by Ricoh and rebranded by sea&sea for this setup. It's normally like 1600 new (with the strobe) and the lenses are 200-300 each. Selling the whole thing for 600 obo, not looking to get rich but don't want to give it away either. The strobe is a YS-01, with the focus light...

I got some nice macro footage of Nembrotha chamberlaini nudibranchs mating at Red Rock and Twin Rocks in Anilao last year. Nudibranchs have barbed penises to hold them together and the last clips shows the effort and twisting movement required to pull that pair apart. Shot with my Panasonic...

Hello Need advice on choosing Subsee +5 or +10 for using with a Sony RX-100. I understand +10 will give me greater magnification but I am worry about getting way too close to the subject to get it in focus. On the other hand, +5 will give me less magnification but I won't need to get so close...

Hello everyone! I have some questions regarding a GoPro Hero 4 setup. I'm really into underwater videography, but this will be my first real "rig". This looks like a really good deal...
