OK , So I've been to 2 So Cal Oly meetings with my Oly 5050/PT-015. Met some great peoples and very knowledgeable photographers. I've learned how to set up My Modes and even worked with Manual mode while diving. Can't seem to get the -3.0 anywhere near the magic 0.0.
So I eventually end up putting it back in Auto about half way through the dive. I even try using the cameras Auto settings as a base line with marginal success in manual mode.
So last weekend while on a boat dive to Anacapa I was trying to take pics of a pair of seals teasing me. I put my Oly in Movie mode and Voila. As my friend would say Beautiful! 46 sec of WOW. If I could post it I would but it's 11+ mb. Earlier in the dive we spotted a 3'+ horn shark cruising the shallows and I got 1 OK pic from above him . Next time it's Movie mode. Even my first pic (encounter) ever with a grren moray turned out phttplb!!! How do you spell it when your tounge vibrates and you slobber over everybody?
Now if I could only find some noisy BSB.
Since I can use 2 types of media simultaneously with the push of a button I think I will dedicate my 512 mb (=24 minutes) CF card to taking video and purchasing a 512 mb SM card for pics. Anyone need a 128 mb CF card or 32 mb xd card both virgin cards. Would help pay for the bigger card. Man I love this camera now if it would only make me a better photographer. I think I need a dummies guide to underwater photography.
How do you filter out all that blue ?
I took a pic of a bat ray that wouldn't be half bad if not for the BLUE out .
I have a suggestion for the next So Cal Oly meeting can we have an in water session maybe even on a dive boat to say Catalina in search of BSB or the Channel Islands . I'm sure we could fill half a boat with just are members. 3 dives ,food air, comraderie and some tips from the pro's between dives. I desperately need help in the water on paper just isn't doing much for me.
Sea yall soon Jeff
