Any tips for Maldives trip?

18 August 2012 - 11:04 AM

Hey people.

Going to Maldives in 3 weeks for around 12 days. FInally :-)

A week on live-aboard en route area of Haa Dhalu and Haa Alifu and then the rest chilling on some island with cute house reef. Not a dedicated photo trip, more like a club trip with around 20 of us.

Any advices, hints, hands-on tips for uw shots?

My idea is to focus on some big shots while on boat (and pray for some big pieces in water) and then later to look for smaller things maybe. I plan to use 15mm Sigma fisheye without and with 1.4 TC and potentially also to use 16-35. BTW, I got D700 with two S&S 250s.

I am trying to make a plan if possible and undertand on what I need to focus on and what to expect, specifically in terms of environment (visibility, currents, reefs, animal life).

Thanks up front for any tip.

Thanks,
Marko

Which TC Sigma 15mm

26 April 2012 - 01:01 PM

Hi there

I have Nikon D700 and using Sigma 15mm fisheye in Sea & Sea setup.

I would like to get an appropriate TC for this lens.

Can somebody recommend which ones are option?

In terms of port extension, is it fair to assume that I need as much of extension length to much TC's length?

Thanks,
Marko

replacing standard arms with new ultralight buoyancy arms ... yes or no

10 December 2011 - 03:53 AM

Hi

I have what I think of a standard arms setup ... Alu based arms with clamps and joints.

I do wide angle shots so always have a larger port dome which brings some positive buoyancy.

Now I switched to D700 in S&S and have 2 YS250 and consider having same setup with maybe some optional floats if required ... still need to look into it in pool.

On the other side I am considering replacing arms with those new ultralight buoyancy arms.

So what do you people think about it?

Are there any other people with S&S dSLR WA setups with 2 YS250s ... what is your buoyancy experience.

Thanks,
Marko
