Well they say I need to post an intro, so here it is.

I’ve been a working diver for almost 20 Years with the RCMP in Canada. Underwater video has been our main method of documenting crime scenes with the occasional bit of photography.

Although I have been a diver for 30 years it is only in the past few years have started enjoying underwater photography as a peaceful activity to take me away from the usual trauma associated with my underwater work.

I am to the point of upgrading to my first mirrorless camera and want to take my photography to the next level, which for me is putting it into print. I have a small

Portfolio of pictures from various vacations and in small format they look great, but I’d like to get to the point of having a size that would look good in the walls of my house.

Well that’s more than enough about me. If you’ve read this far I gotta say I’m impressed.

Cheers and safe diving everyone.

LOL, welcome to Waterpixels, Underwater with Art - love then name.

Great to have you with us and I'm delighted to read that you've managed to find a peaceful outlet away from what, I'm sure, can be pretty difficult at times.

We hope you enjoy the forum.

Best wishes

@Underwater with Art Aloha and welcome. Very cool background. Curious, what are you using for video at work?

We are currently using the Sony A6700 with Nauticam housing/wide angle lens. A couple Sola video lights gives us good quality for court purposes.

The A6700 is pretty good, eh? I love mine but don’t have a housing for it as yet. Very sad about Light & Motion. I liked their lights.

I recently switched from the Sony RX100 V compact system to the Sony A6700 and I am so happy with my decision to switch to mirrorless. I had fought it for years since I wanted to keep the ability to swap out wet lenses underwater so I was thrilled when Ikelite introduced a housing for the A6700 that would allow me to use my wet lenses.
