Need compact housing and good camcorder, to make special video..

2008-04-22T08:39:09+01:00

I am looking after at uw-housing and camera, wich takes good video, but also is very compact, so that i might mount it on the side of my head while diving.

Housing should be waterproof to 60 meters or something like that.
Video should be good in low light enviroment
Cheap is good..

I have been looking at a lot of products, but havent found the perfect product yet - anyone can help me with this setup ?

My first decent video

What can anyone recommend for my next camera as I want something alot better, but under $1000

Thanks

Searching for Helmut Theiss

2008-05-21T14:03:51+01:00

Hiya,

First time on these forums for me. I’m trying to track down a German photographer called Helmut Theiss who won a competition at the turn of the year with a very pretty photograph of a seahorse sitting in front of a sea pen. Very nice work, and I’d like to showcase it in my magazine. So Helmut - if you’re reading - please get in touch by emailing simon at dive dot uk dot com and we’ll get your picture published.

All the best,

Simon Rogerson

diving since 1994, mostly tech Mediterranean dives.

on and off UW photography, trying to get back on the video “band-wagon.

It’s been a great year…

for me, considering I have logged 100 dives and only about 40 with a camera, did my 100th dive in the Red Sea in Feb this year( that was the last time I was really in the water :(( ). But being a bit cheeky, I decided to enter one or two competitions, Big ones, the GDT “European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2007” and came away with Highly Commended.there were some absolutely beautiful photos at the festival exhibition in L�nen, Germany.
Then came Antibes just for a laugh, of course I didnt win anything, But!, I received an email from a French journalist asking about one of my photos that was being used as part of a promotion packet, and see there, it was in a slide show with photos from Michael Aw, Charles Hood, Franco Banfi, Felipe Barrio, and few more great names, that for me was a great honour. This made me a bit noisy and I found two more photos ( Loinfish and an Anemonen fish) on the official HP from Antibes. Anyway thats about it really I think it was a great year.

So jetzt muss ich meine Graue Starr entfernen lassen :((

Intro: New UW Photographer from the Maldives

2007-11-11T18:22:49+01:00

Hi all!

My name is Shaff & I’m a Scuba diving instructor from the Republic of Maldives. I started taking photos a few years back as a hobby. I never thought of entering any competitions as I thought all my photos won’t even make it anywhere. My family, friends and also my students always tells me how good my photos are and that I should enter a competition. Last month I entered the first photo competition organised by the Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and won the competition. I submitted 5 photos to the underwater category and came 1st and 2nd. And then won the ‘Best of the Show’. It was a big surprise to me because I took all the photos using an Olympus 5060WZ. Now I’ve got an Ikelite housing and strobes for my Nikon D50 DSLR. I hope I can learn a lot from the professional or amateur photographers in DigiDeep. Wish me luck.
