Hi Martin

 

Fantastic images in the gallery. I am very impressed by your way of getting the right lighting. Tell us a bit about whats your primary lens and is the lighting done all manually ?

Hi guys, I am glad you like the images.

As we only had 4 days on Bali we kicked it full throttle! 5 dives a day. We dived Tulamben (wreck, drop off) Seraya and couple other dives along the northern coast mostly muck. I do not remember the names.

 

This time 50% of the dives I took the 10.5mm FE lens. Sometimes I added kenko 1.4 TC. The rest was 105mm, but most of the time I wished to have both setups macro and wide angle UW with me

I spent a lot of time shooting the jacks focusing on good balance between natural light and strobes. This was all done manualy and I guess I did not fire more than with 1/2 power at any of theese shots. I went down to f3.5-4 and 1/30.

Hi Scott,

for this shot I used the 10.5mm and 2 DS-125 at 1/2 power. However I played a lot with the strobe positioning and finaly I ended with some very strange creature in my hands No filter for this shot.
