Hi all,
I just got back from a great week of diving in the Turks & Caicos, and wanted to share some of my results. After reading posts on this forum and others (digitaldiver.net) I decided to try my hand at available light shooting, using filters and had some promising results. Have a look and provide any suggestions or thoughts on how I could have improved these images...I'm here to learn! Oh yah...I'm using a Tiffen FL-D 67mm threaded filter and a white dive slate for manual whitebalance.
One thing I struggled with (aside from remembering to constantly manually white-balance using my dive slate) was depth of field and focus. I'm using an Oly 5050 rig in the Oly housing, and have turned off the full-time AF feature to save power. Using the filter definitely limits the light coming in so I was never able to go much above f/5.6 and 100/sec. Often had to go slower just to get the image. Practice will improve that I suppose....
Anyway, let me know what you think. I had a blast shooting and really like the natural feel the filter gives.
Cheers,
Matthew
