Moray1 Moray2 This should work !!!

Here are two pictures of a giant moray. I took them at the beginning of a dive on Abu Kafan (Safaga - Egypt) I'm posting these pics because on the way back to the boat the moray decided to leave its hole and came straight to us. I recorded a 30 sec video that you can download here (4mb): Giant moray

Hi Simon, Your pictures are beautiful ... I had the chance to meet dolphins in Egypt (Safaga) and that was a moment of pure emotion.... I'm sad to hear that you flooded your camera. I had the same problem in October 2002 with my S40. It was sent back to Canon and they sent me a new camera and housing 5 months later .. I'd say that you should give a try and keep the faith !!! I had the time to think about what happened during that dive and I have to say that I still don't know what went wrong .. This only thing is that I jumped in the water with it. I did about 25 dives with the new camera and got not problem at all ... and I jumped in the water during some drift dives too .. Once again .. congratz for your pics

Another shot !!! Close-up

Simply a beautiful fish ... one of my favorite Papillon1 Papillon2

Thank you Cybergoldfish ... It's the second time I post a link to my gallery and you took the time to have a look each time. No other replies I'm just a newbie at diving and underwater photography but I'll keep shooting and try to improve ... There is something strange about diving ... kind of addiction :ph34r:

Just back from Egypt ... YES again !!! I took about 500 shots and put a selection online. Comments help a lot ... so please shot !! http://www.gordhdmn.easynet.be/

Hi, The tray I use is from Fish Eye (www.fisheye-jp.com) The pictures you're talking about were taken during the trip I did in February. The set up was the one shown on the pic previously posted but without the fiber-optic cable (reacting on the build-in flash) I just updated my site with a selection of pics taken last week. The strobe was synchronised with the fiber-optic cable and it does change A LOT ... www.gordhdmn.easynet.be

Here is my setup ...

Just back from Egypt. Here is a picture I took with the S40/WP-DC 300 using an external strobe ES-150 synchronised with a fiber-optic cable. I just decoded the RAW file and ... no adjustment. I think it's a good example of what you can expect from the ES-150 (which cost about Eur 200 btw) EXIF infos: File: CRW_4212.CRW File size: 3254KB Image Serial Number: 142-4212 Camera Model: Canon PowerShot S40 Firmware: Firmware Version 1.10 Date/Time: 2003.04.19 09:18:50 Shutter speed: 1/250 sec Aperture: 4,9 Exposure mode: Tv Flash: Built-in Flash EF guide number: 6,94 Metering mode: Evaluative Drive mode: Single frame shooting ISO: 100 Lens: 7,0 to 21,0 mm Focal length: 21,0 mm Subject distance: 0,49 m Macro focus: On AF mode: Single AF Focus point: Image size: 2272 x 1704 Orientation: 1 Image quality: Raw White balance: Flash Saturation: Normal Sharpness: Normal Contrast: High

Hi Simon. Could you post a few shots taken with your new set up ?? I'd really like to see what you get .... I totally agree about RAW ... I'm currently waiting for a fiber optic cable for my set up. I should get it next week. I'm normally going in Egypt in 2 weeks time. RAW + optic cable will be great ... I already know it
