The last time I took out my macro I made the stupid mistake of mounting my 55-200mm telephoto instead of my 80mm f/2.8!! They are very similar size, but the macro is a lot heavier. I though it a bit odd when I got underwater and it just wouldn't focus on anything! I thought I may have left the focal range limiter on the wrong setting. Was also a bit odd that the front of the housing was a bit floaty. They say you should only make a mistake once, so hopefull this was it 🙂
This time I was even more certain to mount the correct lens, and also to ensure that the aperture ring was on A, and the focal limiter set correctly. All of these settings can only be done before closing the housing, and any of them being set wrong will result in a dive carrying around a useless housing!
Anyway, on to the photo haul for the dive. I don't seem to take as many photos in a dive than I used to. And I seem to have the same number of keepers per dive. Hopefully that means I'm getting better 🙂
Any critique on any aspect - composure, framing, lighting, post-processing is welcomed and appreciated
Equipment
Fujifilm XT-3 in Nauticam NA-XT3 housing
2x Inon Z240
Fujinon XF80/f2.8 Macro
For most of these shots I kept the camera on ISO320, SS 1/60, adjusting aperture and flash output / positioning. Most of these photos are between f/7.1 and f/10.
Thanks @Chris Ross .. thanks for the feedback. I actually think I usually over-edit my photos, so in this post I've gone for a more conservative effect .
