One more Photog. on nwdc!

Post by BASSMAN »

Just got my first u/w camera for Christmas!
I am playing around with it learning as much as I can because there is plenty of cool things it can do.
Right now I have the Intova IC12 with an external strobe on an arm with a sinc cord and a diffuser and a red filter for Bonaire diving. In 2011 there will be more pictures of my dive buddies, to share with nwdc!
And now I can stop pointing at things and start taking pictures! Woot! :supz:

Here is a couple of my first pictures.

Can't wait to see what you come up with! It's a very rewarding part of diving - soon you'll feel weird if you don't have your camera with you.

Congrats, Keith!

That's very cool... I got the same one for an early Christmas present a couple of weeks ago... If you use it w/o the external strobe setup make a diffuser or you'll end up with a lens barrel shadow in the lower left corner of the frame... I made mine out of an old plastic 1 gal. ice cream bucket (thin, flexible, and cheap), just cut the lens hole a tiny bit smaller than the barrel so it stays snug on there... Of course I now have an off camera strobe too and I love it... But I still use the diffuser to contain the flash so the sync cord won't miss it... Have fun, I have been...
