Just back from a great week at Capt Don's. There's not much new that hasn't been written about before but I just thought I would share some of my digital photos. I recommend the Habitat 100%

Thanks so much for posting pictures that look like what mine are supposed to look like, but when I get the film back, they never do.

Larry, I noticed that you used the olympus c-5050 for your photos. I've been contemplating this as my next step into digital photography. It looks like it has some real underwater potential. Can you recommend this camera? Any real dislikes about your setup? Did you use a strobe? If so what kind?

Thanks Larry, good report. Can you comment further on the shutter lag/autofocus relationship. Is it more of a nusiance or do you consider it a major drawback. Or is it something that you can anticipate and get used to. Shutter lag has always been an issue of concern with me (we all know you can't make those fish pose)and therefore contributed to my reluctance to purchase a digital camera. I know that Nikon has this resolved on the D-100, but I'm not willing to invest that kind of money.

flirt with someone who has a camera;)

I think almost all the dive resorts have photo shops where you can rent a camera, or purchase a disposable underwater camera. Judging by what I've seen at Habitat, they don't rent "junk" - you can get everything from point-and-shoot on up.

If you can rent a digital, you will get many more good shots. The LCD screen to frame make all the difference in the world. You can also check to see if you actually got the shot. UW is much tougher than above water, you have a much higher probability to miss the focus, framing or lighting. The other important advice is get close then get closer, you want the least water between you and your subject. If that moray is not ready to eat your camera your to far.

Larry, Very nice photos indeed! We just made the step to a C5050. Haven't had a chance to get it wet yet. I hope my shots look 1/10th as good as yours! Did you use an external strob UW?
|
By Jamie Barber (BonaireTalker - Post #66) on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 2:17 pm: |
Of course all strobs are external. How about a strobe?
|
By Jamie Barber (BonaireTalker - Post #67) on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 2:22 pm: |
Larry, never mind! I read your C5050 review and saw it was a L&M strobe... Fine work!
|
By Jamie Barber (BonaireTalker - Post #68) on Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 2:25 pm: |
Ah, now I see it was an article about using the INTERAL strobe! Ok we've got it now!
