Thanks for the nice feedback

 

@diver-dave

wise words......

 

Thanks René

@All

 

Thanks for your feedback. My daughter is a bit sad that nobody recognized her potential to become a Nr. one model.

 

@abi

 

You're right. To find a good model is maybe the hardest part. And Nat does this job really great and is fun to be with.

 

@Rob

The lighting was done with two Ikelite DS161 strobes. The dome is a prototype from uwcamerastuff and it´s a 8" full half-sphere(sounds strange but hope you know what I mean).

There are still some buoyancy problems to solve with it as it really wants to float up, but the optical quality and corner sharpness is excellent. And problems are there to solve.

Hi Loftus,

 

I'm aware of this problem. But sometimes it's not possible to avoid (because it limits creativity too much) and I found out it's possible to correct this later on in the software, eventhough it's not easy. I did not spent much time on these pics in postprocessing yet.

 

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,

 

Take a pic only with the 5510.11 attached (no dome) and you will have black corners too. The Sigma 15mm lens is so short that there is no chance to use this without black corners.

 

This lens is just not usable or you crop as Ikelite recommended.

 

Bad news. I´m effected too. I dont think there is a solution as Ikelite does not take it too serious with precision.

Hi,

as Ikelite ruined my annual divetrip with the wrong port recommendation I have only some pool shot examples.

The results are much better and quite acceptable with the Ike 8"dome and my calculated dome positioning. But probably with a 9" dome it might be even better.

Here are some examples:

What really pisses me of is that Ikelite is still recommending the wrong port, eventhough I provided  my informations to them and they told they might update the port chart. This is ingnoring the customers and will lead to the fact that everybody with a Nikon FX + 16-35mm will be dissapointed. I really don´t get it. It costs them 5 min to update the port chart.

Kind regards
René
