mimenza01 0 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Hi, my name is Alfredo. I currently live in Mexico, dividing my time between Mérida city, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and all around the Yucatan Peninsula. I spend my freetime freediving, scuba diving, running, swimming, fishing, and all the outdoor activities possible in the area. I grew up in Cozumel Island which for many people around the globe is a scuba diving paradise for photography. Here I began my interest in photography and filming underwater. I am just a beginner with a canon T3I or 600D, a pair of gopro's and few years of experience. My new interest is to get my DSLR underwater and film pelagic action. I will be glad to contact or provide any recommendations to anyone who is visiting the area. Edited January 1, 2017 by mimenza01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Architeuthis 133 Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, My name is Wolfgang, I was born 1956. I dive since 1982. When I was a child I was infected with the photography virus, when my grandfather gave me one of his used mid-format cameras. I pooled my pocket money with that of a friend to set up a darkroom in our attic. Lateron I had a Minolta 35mm mirror reflex camera with several objectives. Focus on tele-macro in nature (200 mm Sigma with extension bellow and rings). Autofocus and automatic exposure were not a topic at this time... Underwater I have a Sony VX-1000 digital videocam since late 90ies. My experience using digital underwater photo equipment is limited to occasionally using the Lumix TZ-5 of my wife (since a year she has an Olympus EPL-6 with set objective and 60 mm macro, I may use it also, but very seldom only (she likes to take the camera by herself )). I plan to acquire an underwater wide-angle setup in 2017 (complementary to the macro setup of Lisi), thats why I joined this forum. I am not shure yet about the camera system and what lens(es)...

Doc1913 0 Posted January 4, 2017 Good Day. My name is Rudy and I have been a PADI Instructor since 1987. I have been diving in different countries over the past three decades and currently I reside on the island of Aruba, in the Caribbean. I started to teach underwater photo and video in the late 1980's working with the Nikonos III system and up. It doesn't mean that I'm old, I just started early. For the past 7 years I have been trying to get two things going in Aruba, which is the implementation of the Aruba Marine Park and a new hyperbaric chamber for the island. I will elaborate more on these later. I dive nowadays primarily for fun doing lion fish control since this invasion in 2009 in Aruba. Rudy (Doc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rose2852 0 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Hello, Rose Saltman here. I live in Sydney, Australia, and have been a keen amateur underwater photographer since the mid 1980's when I acquired my first set up, a Nikonos V. My first digicam was an Olympus 2020! Hoping to find some great info on here and be able to share whatever I can. I'm also looking to offload a Canon G12 Powershot, Recsea Housing and various accessories. It's been great, but I only shoot with one camera underwater (currently a Sony RX1003 with Nauticam Housing). Edited January 10, 2017 by Rose2852 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awagami 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Howdy, Folks: I'm a photography enthusiast in San Francisco, CA; I shoot with Sony cameras, DSLRs and DSLTs and mirrorless; I primarily do erotica. I've decided to visit Hawaii with my girlfriend for a week, and thought I might as well do a little snorkeling while I'm there--and, to enhance this experience, I've bought an underwater housing for one of my mirrorless cameras, a Sony a6000. I do have a few questions and concerns with that housing, but I'll post 'em over on the Mirrorless Cameras/Housings forum. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
