what's your fav Canon zoomie

1 hour ago1 hr

I have always loved my Sigma 17-70 paired with a dome and the Canon 7Dmkii (and 20D, 40D before that!) I know a lot don't think it's wide enough, but it was great for going on a leisurely, "who knows what I'll see or what I'll be in the mood to shoot today" diving.

I don't know how it will work with the newer cameras so wondering what you all like to shoot when you want to "have it all" on a dive? Please let me know what you think are good contenders and if you can share an example of its diversity, that would be double helpful!

Yay for shopping season!

Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
TimG · October 31, 2025Oct 31

On a recent dive trip I met someone who is writing a dissertation on people who are 50+ and diving. If you are interested in contributing, the following is a link to a simple questionnaire which takes about 5 minutes to complete. I've become paranoid about online scams, phishing etc. But this looks fine and I know the author - and the information gathered is pretty innocuous. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=e3VPRDDLUkaTvMqNbR74E5Cna1DJ6d1KvM2oRz5_gAdUM0Y3UEpYTkZERDJON

It’s your own public page — same idea as Linktree. One link with your name on it: cover photo, buttons, email, phone, and a photo gallery on the back. The address is waterpixels.net/u/your-name A web presence without building a website. If people use it, we may grow it later. Slap a QR on a water bottle. Save it to your Home Screen like an app and send the link from your phone — tap to share, AirDrop, text, whatever you already do. Your profile’s Link Card tab shows visits and which buttons

LOFIC: the 17 stops claimed by the Osmo Pocket 4P and the future of sensors
LOFIC: the 17 stops claimed by the Osmo Pocket 4P and the future of sensors

Davide DB · August 22Aug 22

There has been discussion recently about the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. DJI claims up to 17 stops of dynamic range on its new 1-inch sensor, and comparisons with cinema cameras like the ARRI Alexa quickly surfaced online. Looking at the numbers, it might seem plausible, but visually the situation is different. Waveform plot for the DJI OSMO Pocket 4P 20mm wide D-Log2 ISO1600. Image credit: CineD Spoiler: no, it is not a micro Alexa. PetaPixel confirmed after testing it that LOFIC improves both

Shooting a Snoot

TimG · October 30, 20232 yr

Shooting a Snoot Underwater photography is an absorbing form of photography. For some, it’s a technical issue of capturing fish portraits. For others an art form about capturing the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. Whichever you aim for, it presents unique challenges. Everything moves: you, the water, and the subject. Photography is all about capturing and controlling light. In the underwater world lighting and highlighting the subject is often impacted by either a

UWT Trigger for Nauticam/OM System OM-1
UWT Trigger for Nauticam/OM System OM-1

TimG · August 8Aug 8

Having recently written about installing the o-Turtle trigger into a Nauticam housing, I’ve now had a go with a UWT internal trigger for the Nauticam NA-OM1 housing. UWT describes it as the 11072-22-HSS TTL-Converter for NAUTICAM for OLYMPUS/ OM SYSTEM. The UWT trigger arrives in a bubble-wrap envelope in a small cardboard box. No frills functional. It consists of a small electronics board with two LEDs and a cable leading to a hot shoe connector. The manual explains that strobes are selected

Strobe Triggers for OM System/Nauticam: o-Turtle and a Fitting Tip
Strobe Triggers for OM System/Nauticam: o-Turtle and a Fitting Tip

TimG · August 4Aug 4

Having bought a Nauticam housing and OM System OM-1ii recently as the base of my new underwater camera setup, I needed an LED trigger to fire the strobes. Although I havn’t used TTL underwater for many years, I did want HSS as I often include the sunball when shooting wide-angle. This usually requires high shutter speed to avoid exposure burn outs. HSS options for an OM trigger seemed to boil down to the Turtle or UWT. The Nauticam flash trigger, although an attractive option, doesn’t provide
