Probably not worth risking ruining a trip over trying to save carrying a pound worth of glass, especially after such a long dry spell.... [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry! That would be stills, full frame. I have a canon 5d mkiv, a sigma 15mm fe and canon 17-40 mm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! I am hoping to make it to Guadalupe for my first great white shark cage-diving (at the mercy or mischief of COVID that is). Wanted to poll fellow photogs, 1- fisheye or rectilinear? 2- strobes or natural? (Heard strobes are prohibited there, any truth to this?) i want to maximize quality but also try to take my gear as carry-only and avoid checking it in on the flight.

Canon 16-35 mm Mark II or Mark III?
Msorougi replied to Msorougi's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
I am on full frame (canon 5D Mark IV), with an 8 inch dome port (I think that is ~ 200 mm). And looking at ebay, I can sell the 17-40 for $350-400, and get the 16-35 used for f/4 for $700-750. Interesting thing, 16-35 f/2.8 Mark II is about the same price ($700-$800). I will probably sit on this for a bit, I have no immediate need, and there is no shockingly wide difference in image quality that warrants doling out the money yet. Thanks @ChrisRoss -
This has been sold. thank you all!

Hello! Any advice on the camera settings, positioning, time of day, specific gear/setup etc., to get the perfect sun burst? I managed to get a couple, but I will admit it was a function of good luck...

Canon 16-35 mm Mark II or Mark III?
Msorougi replied to Msorougi's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
So currently I have a canon 17-40, you think I should just stick with it, save the cash and go diving instead? -
I know terra firma photographers sing the praises of the improvement of Canon 16-35 mm EF 1:2.8L USM Mark III over its predecessor, the Mark II (Which in and of itself was a great lens). But my question, given the substantial difference in cost, is there a substantial difference in quality when it comes to underwater photography? Should I save my money and go for the Mark II? Or would I regret not doling out this much extra on the Mark III?
-
Bam! You got me at for the money you save, you could spend a week shooting at some exotic destination! I dont think that any of us got into uwphotography with an expectation that this would be a cheap endeavor; between chasing great dive locations and great photo gear, money was a lost cause from the get go. That said, as much I would love to get my hands on the MBZ of housings (and boy do I!), i am pretty content with a reliable and affordable VW!
-
Hahaha! I do have a weakness for cheese I am currently using a Canon 6D. And in all honesty have not tried a Subal before, but have seen others use it, and i will concede it did look very solid in terms of build quality
-
I am considering upgrading my gear to Nikon D850. And i always circle back to the same question, should I get the Subal housing or just stick with Ikelite? I like the ergonomics of the Subal, but that is almost double the cost of Ikelite. Is there more to Subal that justifies this investment? I have had ikelite the past four years, and funtionally it doesnt appear to be inferior to Subal. Any ideas/advice?

Looking for a used 45 degree angled viewfinder, in good condition, for my Ikelite housing (6871.06) of my Canon 6D. Preferably Ikelite (6891.2), but ok with other compatible brands/models. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Guys! I was wondering if you can add a new forum to help with pairing UWP dive buddies. As an example, I am going diving in Dahab this July, and would be nice to find people who share my same diving UWP interests. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UW Model Photo: Fisheye or Rectilinear WA Lens?
Msorougi replied to Msorougi's topic in The Galley: General Chat
Hi Tim, thanks for the advice and pictures! I am undecided how I would be framing the model, but more likely she will be closer than farther. I guess this would be my deciding factor. If it were up to me I would do two dives, one for each lens. Not sure how the wife would see a new lens on our bank statement be like though [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I have an opportunity to shoot a model on a wreck, and was undecided on the right lens to use: A) Sigma 15mm Fisheye: I already own it, it has worked great for me on wreck/reef shoots, but I am worried about how it will distort the model's figure. B) A rectilinear WA: in theory would solve the distortion issue, but it means I have to invest in a new lens, and I am not sure which focal length, and to be honest, I just don't know. So any ideas? Any one with experience they can share of what to do (or not to do)? Thank you all!! Of note, this will be on a Canon 6D (full frame) in an Ikelite Housing with 8 inche dome and 2 DS160 strobes.

Red Sea: Brothers Islands or Thistlegorm?
Msorougi replied to Msorougi's topic in Trip Reports and Travel
Hi Bob, That was exactly my thought. Even though I enjoy reefs more than wrecks, I feel that composition with reefs may be a bit advanced for me, and last thing I want is to be turned off by an extremely low yield, while trying to master the camera; and trying to enjoy the dive. Thanks for the advice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 7 replies

Red Sea: Brothers Islands or Thistlegorm?
Msorougi replied to Msorougi's topic in Trip Reports and Travel
Hi Alex! I just bought your book! Had it shipped all the way from UK (still not on the market in USA). Absolutely loved it! But if i do quit underwater photography, I am blaming your tremendous art work leading to my discouragement and dismay! Lol Thanks for the advice though. I am going in mid July, you wouldn't happen to be going around then, would you? [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks Saga7! Choices choices!

Hi Tim! Thanks for the reply! Tbh, wrecks don't do it for me. I too, am much happier in a natural coral reef. I guess I was wanting to go with wrecks, because it felt like that photographic composition would be easier (especially that i am new, wanting to see bang for my buck, with as little effort as possible lol!). But you are right, if I am not happy, then why do it at all. "Simply the Best", here we come! -Moose Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am planning to go on a liveaboard in the Red Sea. I am undecided between two itineraries: - Get Wrecked: all the famous wrecks like Thistlegorm and Rosalie Muller - Simply the best: Brothers Islands, Elphinstone, Daedalus I am an uw photog beginner, mainly interested in wide angle. Which would be a good start for me?
