Stephen no apologies for the long post needed....do you have more? They're all wonderful shots. I'd have to remark that the composition is outstanding. Cheers.

http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showforum=23 Hi Maria, welcome to wetpixel...here's the link you need.

Try a wet diopter on the 46mm threads of the PT-030. Underwaterphotography.com has a macro lens with the right adapter.

Over the last few months my computer seems to hang up when I redirect it from Wetpixel. No other site will hang up my browser. When I finally get tired of waiting for it to leave, I shut it down and get the message "window is busy do you really want to shut it down". It also hangs up on occasion coming into the site and I restart a new window and it will get right in. Any thoughts. My browser is the latest IE explorer with XP operating system?

Keep in mind that Inon has a special optical cable that goes with its strobe and usually isn't part of the strobe package. Your reseller should have the part number. The older ones required an optical D cable. You'll also want to make sure it comes with an adapter to put on your arms. Lastly, you'll want to purchase a kit to attach the other end of the fiber optic cable to the camera housing. Don't buy the velcro version..they're a pain. Get one that clips to the diffuser plate. Your housing appears to have a cold shoe on top. I would buy a sea&sea adapter for your focus light. Fantasea Nano Focus Light is a good cheap light.

any particular dive you recommend...I'll be there in two weeks? I'll be staying at buddy's and while I hear the shore diving is great I'd like to get out on a boat once or twice.

Never seen that before....nice capture.

Stephen that is flat out cool. I reckon photo number two would be the last thing you'd see without a cage or polecam...hehe. Not sure I'd be real comfortable doing that from a RIB in those waters...one little nibble and life would get real interesting.

Absolutely love 'em..thanks for sharing.

That was cool but I thought that the 22 analogy was for another crustacean that snapped its claw together creating a percussion which would render pray unconscious.....can't recall the name though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, that last shot is cover worthy stuff. 3 subjects and as point out nice use of negative space. Oh and a wild tiger to cut your teeth on...we all thoroughly hate you

Congrats all! Jim nice shot! Keri well deserved win!

Nice work Simon. The Pike shot really cool. I didn't think they'd let you get that close.

They are all fantastic but number 3 looks surreal. Unbelievable lighting on that.

Steve, The 2nd pic with the shark, the boat and diver....that is gold!! Looks like cover material.

Interesting thought. It might be time for a new catagory for hybrids like this. Since it does share some of the same features of both a Digicam and a DSLR.

I'm entertaining offers for this port with the focus gear.

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/...09_06&li=bt If they offer a housing it might be a great camera for those looking for live view. Since it doesn't have a mirror it will more than likely have no lag on live view.

Unless your on a rebreather or freediving most fish are scared off when you exhale through your regulator. A mirror mask might actually create curiosity or aggression in fish when they see their reflection, otherwise I can't see any benefit.

I always shoot RAW. If I'm on a 1 day dive trip, I'll shoot RAW+JPEG.

I've been using the s-ttl and optical connections for a couple years with no issues at all. I'm going to guess this has something to do with the electrical connection or, as described above, a partial flood. Alex, It might a pain but could you describe your settings on the strobes and the type of connection? You might just unhook the electrical cable and do a test dive using that strobe with the optical trigger and the strobe set to s-ttl to see what happens.

I believe that's a peterson's shrimp and yes they carry their eggs that way.

Still have this port with zoom gear. I'm now asking $250. If you have an Olympus System this is %50 off what you'd pay retail it is brand new.

Here's an idea, don't know if you like it but This looks really great in B&W..

I like it. I might white balance the photo in PS but I like it.
