Greetings from Taiwan

January 27, 20242 yr

Greetings to all forum participants.
My name is Pavel Kolpakov. I've been photographing underwater for about 20 years.

I work as a technical specialist in the company Underwater Technics Co., LTD (Taiwan). I will be glad to communicate with amateur and professional photographers on the forum.

I use photo cameras Nikon, Canon, Sony and Olympus, and underwater housings Nauticam, Subal, Sea&Sea, Nexus, Seafrogs, Ikelite, underwater strobes: Inon, Sea&Sea, Ikelite, Subtronic. Communication on the forum is always very interesting for me. For my part, I am ready to help everyone who is interested in underwater photographic equipment, especially lighting gear (strobes, triggers, TTL converters, cables, bulkheads, etc.).

Nikon Z9 firmware update to v5.32

TimG · April 8Apr 8

Nikon announced on 31 March a firmware update to v5.32 for the Z9. Nikon's Download Centre explains the update does the following: • Changed the way the aperture was adjusted on a lens when the standby timer expired. • Fixed an issue where the camera would sometimes stop responding if a picture was zoomed in during filtered playback while FTP upload was in progress. A link to the firmware is here: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/589/Z_9.html

DIY Fibre Optic cables - Easy!
DIY Fibre Optic cables - Easy!

DIY Fibre Optic cables Like most members, when I bought my first system that used fibre optic cables, I paid for the ones that the dealers sell. Reading various articles about fibre optics, I realised later that they were relatively easy to make and that DIY cables could cost a fraction of shop-bought. I gave it a go. I thought it worth a write-up here on Waterpixels. And yes, they are really easy to make and are cheap. The Cable The best fibr

I have long fascinated with shooting ring lights underwater starting with the Inon Quadflash, through the various Athena modifications to Sea and Sea strobe heads, continuing to the Saga fiber optic rings and now to the Weefine 3000. The Weefine 3000 is the latest version of the LED lights made by Kraken and Weefine. The Weefine 3000 CCW Weefine 3000 CCW Ring Light It's similar to the earlier 3000 lumen LED modules but has adjustable color temperature and a 3000-lumen burst (strobe) mode. It
