UW camera setup
Submitted by Gully on Mon, 2010-06-14 11:10
I have had a few enquiries as to the setup I am using for the UW photos.
I am currently using a Canon EOS5D mark II camera.
I have 2 lenses at present for this camera and they are a Canon 100mm Macro f/2, and also a Canon 17-40mm f/4L. Most of the pics are with the 17-40mm lens. Hope to get a couple more soon.
For the housing it is an Ikelite housing and I have an 8inch dome port for wide angle stuff and also the modular flat port for the macro.
Lighting is from a TTL strobe and again is Ikelite (DS160) but I am waiting for some improvement in the Aus$ so I can get another and then have dual strobes.
As for locations for the latest lot of pics they are all from the last Exmouth trip just gone.
Cheers
Gully

camera settings
Always running full manual and do a bit of adjusting depending on what I am trying to achieve.
For these most of the time I start around F5.6 and shutter speed of about 1/250. Then depending on conditions etc will adjust from there
just dhu it
