Nikon D200 - Multi-Cam 1000

20-30 seconds between 0- 20 meters

Thats all you can do Lambis?

I am a old man Arnon :-) 20 seconds time to get the shot. Divetime is about 1 second per 1 - 2 meters

Just a short story that happens to me last time in Egypt

I was trying to get a good composition and i have told a freediver to make some experiments.

He must dive with the arms over the head and in the same time push me down so that I am always i front of him and take photos

Intresting he say we doit. He put a Monofin and when we have relax and take a good breath we begin

But he is like a Ferrari He just grab my on the shulders and push me with speed in the deeps.

I hold with both hand my housing and try to get some photos.

But when we have past the first 10 - 15 meters a need to equalize.

I try to take away one hand but he think that I lose control and put my hand back to the housing :-(

I beginn to feel that my ears are beginn to explode , and try to equalize with Mouthfill but he is so fast that I can get it right. On the end I just have push him away and try to get to the surface . we are I am not sure , in about 30 meters. I feel that I have not air becauce I have use everything to eqaulize. I come up with the Mask full off blood (Breaking some sinus), near to a blackout and no good Photos.

back to the topic

 

 

No good photos !, you did'nt try hard enough

Next time just set the camera to continuous internal shooting (can you do that on a D70) and get him just to push that into the depths! While you relax with a cocktail at the surface.
