Hey everyone!

Been shooting for a while, a mix of underwater and normal. Recently upgraded my underwater shooting with a salt frog housing for an A6000. But having some issues that hopefully I can get some help with.

Hello,

My name is Kevin and i am a Belgian Underwater Photographer since 5 years.

I am still in the beginners stage, although i won some gold and silver medals the past 2 years in Open Belgian Competition. 

I use an Olympus omd m1 mk2 camera in a nauticam housing. Lighting with strobes from Retra and most of the time i do Macro with the Retra LSD.

I love this forum and hope to learn a lot and if possible share some things with you guys.

Keep safe! 

And thanks for accepting!

Hello All,

I am introducing myself, finally. I have been diving for years and really enjoy underwater photography, especially Macro. It will be great when travel to great dive destinations is open and safe again.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D500 in a Nauticam housing.

Be safe everyone!

Hi,
I'm from Sweden, but quickly discovered that diving and the nordic climate wasn't for me. I worked in the industry for a short time some 20 years ago and it almost put me off diving until a friend introduced me to UW photography. In those innocent pre-pandemic times me and my friends did 1-2 trips a year to SE Asia and just marvelled at how much fun and excitement (and sometimes frustration as well :p) there was to be found bringing a camera into the sea. Now we're really looking forward to go back.

Hi, I am MCH Martin Chvoj from small inland country of Czechia, an amateur but enthusiastic photographer. I have started with my underwater photography at beginning of 2018, when I bought Nauticam housing and strobes for my Canon 5D MIV. Since then I have been living Philippines and travel around that part of the world. I have been lucky to photo everything from small nudi branches and little shrimps through mantas and sharks all over to humpback and blue whales. Sine 2020 I am being also an ambassador for emerging non-profit project Cyan Planet, which gives me bit of spiritual fulfillment as an contributor to help the raise the awareness of problems in oceans.

Hello everyone.

 

I've been a photographer my whole life.  My parents had a darkroom in every house I lived in growing up.  I built my first darkroom in the second apartment I rented, and ended up doing large format B&W.  When I moved to Seattle, I got into diving and realized that I needed to take my photography underwater.  I've been shooting with a slowly improving range of GoPro cameras, and really ought to step up my game.  :)

Hi there,

Pascastel, 34 yrs old french guy living in Australia. I have been diving a lot in Asia around 10-12 years ago, divemaster with 200+ dives in easy waters and few in more complicated settings. Now living in Australia, I feel like it is a good time to come back to it !

I have been a photographer on land for a long time, so why not merge the two interests, and start UW photo?

I will be looking at finding a case for my Sony A6400, but I still need to understand how all that would work...

Cheers !

Hello,

I'm from the Pacific Northwest and fairly new to underwater photography. I currently have a TG-5 setup but hope to upgrade in the near future. I look forward to learning from all the knowledgable people here and improving my underwater photography.

Some of my underwater pictures here.

Hi all,

I'm currently based in Central Florida since Covid, but previously was working as an instructor and running a dive resort in Thailand. I've been shooting on Sony compact for 3 years, but my background is land based photography in the form of photojournalism. Making the switch to a6xxx series Sony and ports and ttl triggers and all that kind of fun stuff. It feels like I'm learning everything all over again!

Thanks,

Logan
