UW photo report - 8dec2012

Incredible!

I could look at these pics all day.   

I feel very grateful and fortunate...I have never had such high quality fishing/diving pics taken of me...to be able to share these with family and friends is truly special.

 

Thanks again bro!!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

What kind of camera where you using?

Few people have asked this; quoted yours for reference.   


It's a quite older model dslr - the canon t2i... which is 2 generations old and of the lowest model of dslr that Canon makes.
But in UW photography, housing/ports tend to cost way more than the body, so I went with what I could get the best used deal on.

Using a Nauticam housing - very similar setup to my buddy Dam's, who took most of the pics in this thread:

For surface shots, it's really not a big deal - normal point&shoots can get a lot of clarity and color.
However, as light drops (such as UW), the P&S sensors are a bit small to keep up and images get noisy/grainy.
I've spent years trying to make do with various "cutting edge" P&S's and finally gave in.
Wish I would have done it sooner.

This was my first time using the camera, so I had to learn some focus nuances and bunch of other random issues.
Figured I'd switch to a new challenge in diving - looking forward to the good winter vis and taking a lot more pictures!   

Oh Now you did it,
Now I got the bug to try out all that diving gear I have been sitting on for the last year
When I tried last year the visibility was way less than in these pics.
I will get out before GS or there will be a great deal on some new gear

Nice Fishies! 

really impressive shots Fuzz! Amazing!

I remember that day!
I didn't even realize that was you paddling past me looking all green in the face until I ran into Bryan.   

Definitely wasn't the best day/conditions/area to get reacquainted with diving. 

Very, VERY SWEET SHOTS!!  Total Team Work from TOP to BOTTOM!!

beautiful!

Who is BUZZ?? Is this the old FUZZ??
