Hi Zornes,

great picture and among my favourites this week. Very vibrant colors and good
usage of depth of field to improve a the image depth. But could you please
tell us, which housing and lense you used?

ciao lars

I second that, from what I have seen and heard in the right hands we will see some awesome photos come out of the Canon 5d.

Looks like it was a 100mm macro lense shot to me, but I am often wrong with those sorts of guesses.

Greetings sir,

I am using a prototype from BK Undrwarter systems, which is a underwater diving helmet company locally here in florida. Makers of commercial diving helmets and tools. Some of the guys in the shop are toying around with a few older housings and steeling parts to make this work. These guys are amazing in the underwater world of equipment makers. 

As for the lens it is the Canon 28mm - 105mm f3.5 4.5 lens.

As for the strobes there is really 3. The 480x is in the hot shoe which bonce to the SB105 as slaves. This ##### but it is a prototype. I have ordered the Aquatica housing as with the advice I received from this forum. A did not see the advantage of spending $2000.00 more on black lining in the seacam housing. I am sure it has to have something more than the fabric to wisk away water to increase it value by $2000.00. But I could not find it.

Thanks for the kind words… now vote for me!

Regards,

1divemaster

####, the camera is good but what about the photographer… I was pretty good too… Don’t you think?

No really, this is a sweet camera I am waiting on a 14mm lens and on a 60 mm macro. But if I can get this type of shots out of the 28-105mm I just might stick with it.

By the way now my model (the :oops: Leafy Sea dragon) is mad that you did not say anything about her talents…

Thanks for the kind words.
