pooley 6 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Bought a Nauticam housing for a Nikon D500 off here and got a new Nauticam SMC-1 to go with it. This is a result from the first trip away with it - all crit welcomed and appreciated Mike edit - looks a lot better at full size Edited October 21, 2019 by pooley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted October 24, 2019 Nice pic, Pooley I like the darkish blue - rather than the usual black - background. That. for me, works nicely wit the colouring of the shrimp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phxazcraig 35 Posted October 30, 2019 Looks pretty good. How much cropping? I shoot these critters with a 105vr on a D850 and have to crop pretty much 100% to get a result you can see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers for your help choosing the D500, I'm happy with its first outing Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks pal, its on a D500, 105vr and the nauticam SMC-1, so I had the crop factor in my favour this time compared to the D850, but with the SMC its over 90% of the original frame Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
