TimG Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Lovely shots, Chris. I really like your lighting style and the shallow depth of field in the frogfish shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like your lighting style and the shallow depth of field in the frogfish shot. Thanks! The first shot of the frogfish was taken with the TTArtisan copy of the Trioplan 100mm lens for that „bubble bokeh“, a fully manual lens which is very frustrating to use underwater as you have to pre set aperature and focus before the dive. But it does give you this unique effect that cannot be recreated with other lenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably make one for this lens with a few measurements. (assuming nauticam) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Architeuthis Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Great photos... How did you create the bubbles (I guess that the Tartisan lens does not create the bubbles by itself?)? Did you use an external strobe and something to diffract the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! 😊 Lets make it a little bit more interesting: for the „bubbles“ you will need something that you have in your kitchen and a blue light 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
