I would just like to introduce myself and say hello to you all. I have only played
at U/W photography to-date, but would like to learn more about the subject and
improve my own skills at U/W photography. Having read some of the editorials and write-ups on this site, I suspect I have found the right forum !
I have been using a Sea & Sea MM2EX, TTL Strobe, WA and 3T macro for about 3 years.
I've decided i'm going digital this year. After much researching, I have decided
to go for the Sea & Sea 8000G with stobe and WA. I have never tried a digital
camera underwater and only have rudimentery experience of using a basic
digital land camera.
I would be interested to hear from anyone else who reccently went on the
learning curve from film to digital and what valuable lessons were learned
on the early dives.
I would also like to hear from anyone who uses a 8000G and what thier
experiences are to-date with this camera. I appreciate the 8000G is relatively
new which is possibly why I can't find much impartial editorial on this product.
I'm based in the UK and will probably test my new camera at an in-land site
to get the feel for it before going out to the Maldives at Easter. Then it's back
to the Farne Islands to hopefully get some good pics of the seals.
