Wetpixel Live: Dome Port Essentials
One of the most frequently discussed topics on the Wetpixel forums is the selection of appropriate dome ports. Many topside photographers assume that the dome’s function is simply to provide a waterproof port and tend to be unaware of the fact that it also acts as a critical component in an underwater optical system. Alex and Adam discuss how ports can make or break the quality of imagery that can be produced underwater.
Isotta Ships Housing for EOS R6
Isotta is shipping their housing for the Canon EOS R6 mirrorless camera. Manufactured in the company’s trademark red, it has three M16 and one M24 accessory ports and uses a 120mm bayonet for ports attachment. It ships with fiber optic ports, with the option of Nikonos or S6 connections, if required.
Wetpixel Live: Shooting with a Single Strobe
Both Alex and Adam are enthusiastic champions for controlling the light their strobes put out, in order to ensure that their subjects are beautifully lit. One way to help to do so is to reduce the amount of light by switching one strobe off or simply only taking one on the dive. In this episode, they chat through the situations in which they tend to use a single strobe and the advantages of doing so.
