Hi All,

My name is George. I recently moved from my home of 38 years in San Diego, CA to Florida in the Tampa area. I've been shooting casually for over 20 years and look forward to learning more about techniques and equipment.

Good Day! My name is Joyce... live in Washington State but don't dive here... too cold for me for diving! I am a new member to Wetpixel looking to improve my knowledge on my DSLR and to sell some of my well loved camera gear. Hopefully will get pictures up this weekend!

Hi,

 

I have been diving for many years, still love it. Am landlocked but manage to get away a few times a year.

 

My favorite camera now is a Canon S100 with a YS strobe.

 

Nothing fancy but I love having photos to remind me of the joy I find in the ocean.

 

I have some film cameras I am wishing to sell. I have a Nikonnos 2, 4 and 5 and a 15 m lens with viewfinder, and a number of ext tubes and a 28 m lens and view finder. Also have a pentx SLR with housing. Just want to go light weight and easy so no longer using these cameras.

Hi! Greetings from Italy.

 

I've just joined this forum to chat and understand more about underwater photography! and of course to share my (future) experience.

My new equipment is: Sony RX100II with Nauticam Case + Sea&Sea YS-D1 + SubSee +10 Macro.

 

Hope to make some good shots!

I have been absent from WetPixel for some time, but have rejoined. I am seeking advice about a new camera and housing. I currently have a housing for my (now ancient) D200. I plan to buy a new camera and housing and wonder if this might be the moment to change to FX since I prefer Wide Angle to macro. I am really intrigued about the D750 but to date, only Ikelite has announced they will be making a housing for this camera. I am seriously considering the D810 but am a bit troubled about the comments about soft edges using the 16-35 zoom, despite use of a +2 diopter when using the 8" dome port (which I have). Might anyone be willing to offer some thoughts? It's great to be back on WetPixel.

Hi All! I'm new to the forum and perusing around. I got into wedding photography a while back and one of my assignments led me to a couple of underwater photography forums. Researching gear and basics of underwater photography. Well, here's one of the few times I've ever had the pleasure of the challenge that is underwater photography:

I'd love to try it out again as I know I could definitely improve on what base I've started here.

 

thanks!

Hi,

 

I'm Tracey, and I'm a Brit, but live in Singapore. I have been diving for many years, but started underwater photography about 2 years ago. It has become an obsession, so I have already upgraded once from ikelite to sea cam. About to sell the ikelite. I am in the midst of building a website, and have just started entering pictures in competitions. My website is traceydjennings.com

G'day. Aaron from Australia, more of a landscape photographer at the moment but looking at getting into some surf and "landscape from the surf" photography down the track. The forum came recommended by Ocean Shutter via a Facebook group.

 

Lots of ideas and plans but lots of planning first, research, and then hopefully before Feb 2015 and my trip down the east coast of Tassie I will pull the trigger and get the gear I need to take the shots I have in mind.

 

No website up yet but I do have a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/aarondc.photography

Hi,

 

I'm Bruce Partridge from Shearwater Research. I've been reading the forum off and on for a couple of years but haven't posted before.

 

I'd like to post a classified to sell one of my cameras, but the forum won't let me. What are the rules for posting in non-comercial classifieds.
