How many controls do you actually use on your housing?
24 February 2013 - 08:39 PM
So I was wondering, with new cameras there are so many options with
setting to do a wide range of image capture, as a result housing
manufacturers provide nearly 100% control access. But how many do you
actually use? I know some will say everyone but what would be the most
commonly used and do we need full access to all the features that the
camera has while underwater. If you shoot in full auto then you could get away with one, shutter.
Excluding professional image makers, Imagine if you had a choice of housings that had less function yet where a lot less to buy, would you still buy
the top of the range or really think about what you used and purchased the
same make/model with fewer controls?
When I worked with film, you know that 3 foot bit of plastic that had perforated holes down both
sides, I had 5 controls on my housing and that just about covered every thing I needed
to adjust and capture the image. So would you use 20%, 50% or more of the camera function
during your average dive? GoPro has two and a limited menu.
Also could you cope if a photo comp allowed to pre set your setting , which you gave the organisors pre dive, then restricted you to shutter speed, aperture, strobe adjustment and preview.
Hmm lets see where this goes... 
White tube anemone

These anemones are quite common in the Swan River, in Perth Western Australia.
They can grow to the size of a dinner plate and have white tentacles with purple tips.
This was taken using a strobe behind the anemone with blue filter. And a high aperture to
cut down the peripheral light.

Hope you like it.
