  1. Doh! Ok, those are now removed. No worries. I look forward to that beer! Best wishes, Miguel.
  2. Miguel, I’ve deleted the images.
  3. Good question. Happily I've never actually had to deal with the issue but understand entirely where you are coming from. The solution I developed for myself was to use two carabiners with detachable connectors (see photo). I clip a carabiner onto a D-ring on either side of the shoulder straps of my BCD; and the round snorkel retainers are fastened onto my strobe arms. If I need to free my hands, clipping the connectors together leaves my system (a D500 with Retra strobes) hanging from my BCD and reasonably manageable.
  4. With Monnehpenneh, of course.
  5. 🤣 No sweat, Marcin. I spent a whole career doing pretty much that.
  6. Hey Byron! Great to have you with us! Welcome to Waterpixels. Iceland eh? Hmmm, that sounds like it'd make for an interesting feature article. Fancy a go?
  7. I've got the Nikon Z6II and the Nikkor 8-15. It works very well with the FTZ. No problems. Add the Kenko 1.4 and make sure you get the right version. I've got two DG and DGX Nikon Z6III + FTZ + Nikkor 8-15mm + "N-AF 1.4X TELEPLUS PRO 300 DGX Kenko" will not focus or find an aperture Nikon Z6III + FTZ + Nikkor 8-15mm + "1.4 TELEPLUS PRO 300 KENKO N-AF DG" works fine, will AF and finds the aperture
  8. David. I'm pretty sure the Nikkor 10.5 DX lens has the same problem as the Tokina: it won't work on the FTZ.
  9. Hi Jin! Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us and we hope you enjoy the forum. Best wishes
  10. Hey Geir! A humble guy from Norway, fabulous! Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us.
  11. Hey Tim Great to have you with us. A warm welcome to Waterpixels.
  12. This is horrendous and raises so many questions about the operator.
  13. Great to have you with us, Ellen. I'm sure you'll recognise lots of familiar names. A warm welcome to your new home.
  14. Assuming there's something to photograph! 😄
  15. I’m going to Boot so will keep an eye out. I don’t recall seeing Inon though on the list of manufacturers attending.

    Great to have you with us, thejaguar. Welcome to Waterpixels. We hope you enjoy the forum.
  17. Interesting thought. Where did this come from?
  18. Yep, changing the shutter speed does indeed let you change the colour of the background water. The faster the speed, the less light gets to the sensor and the darker the background. The slower the shutter speed, the more light gets to the sensor and the lighter the background. So you can to a fair degree control the "blueness" of the background to suit the image you are trying to create. As Wolfgang sets out, using the LR Tint and Temp sliders changes the whole image WB unless yuu confine the adjustment to areas isolated through a Mask(s). Masks and WB can be tricky compared to using a Mask to, for example, remove a distracting element. But if its only the background and nothing which is a prime element of the subject is excluded, a Mask can do this quite well I find. I used to use diffusers with the Inon Z240 strobes. But now with the Retras, I just can't see any real difference with or without diffusers.
  19. I agree with Dave. The latest version of LR makes the use of masks really easy and very powerful. Removing unwanted items is amazing.

  22. Hey Naughticam! Great name! Welcome to Waterpixels and the top of the slope that leads to the rabbit hole. Good to have you with us!
  23. Hi Nicholas Welcome to Waterpixels! I’m sure you’ll get help here with your question on the TG system. Lots of expert advice as you rightly say. Good to have you with us.
  24. Hi Grace Just to add to Davide's post, you can add an image to a post by clicking the "Drag files here to attach or choose files" which should be at the bottom of the text box. This will allow you to link to a file on your device. On macro shooting, one of my favourite techniques is to use a snoot which allows light to be concentrated on a small object isolating it from its background. See: Good to have you with us Tim
