Shoreliner11 1 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I'm here in Moorea doing some research and have had a couple chances to take my new housing and strobe out. Here are a couple of shots from my two outings. These are my first shots with a dslr in an underwater housing and it is definitely a learning process. These were all taken while snorkeling but hopefully I'll have a chance to take it out while diving so I can snap more than a couple shots on a dive down. I've also included a pic from the bungalow we're staying in at the research station.

Mike L 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Ahhh how I just love Moorea. Such an amazing place. Will you still be there in the late summer/early fall for the humpbacks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shoreliner11 1 Posted January 27, 2010 Ahhh how I just love Moorea. Such an amazing place. Will you still be there in the late summer/early fall for the humpbacks? Unfortunately no. I'll be making my way to Taiwan for a month in mid march to do some other lab/fieldwork which will be coming out of winter to early spring. Then again for a couple months in June/July. Should be an interesting experience nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shoreliner11 1 Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Some from today. I'm definitely noticing my # of decent shots (actually achieving focus point) is maybe 1 in 15...hopefully its better when I have a tank strapped to my back. cushion star closeup small scorpionfish in porites colony boxfish Edited January 28, 2010 by Shoreliner11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 5 Posted January 28, 2010 great! I did some research on the ambon damselfish which are very similar to the damsels you've shown but yellow. When I saw that photo it brought back all sorts of horror images of sitting still for an hour or two filming them everyday for a month!!!! Keep it up!
