To encourage newbies: Great images are possible

Yes, the little snap on one that comes with the Canon housing.

Was your lens wide open for the flamingo tongue shot?

Looks like there is some slightly uneven lighting from the strobe that may be cause by the port on the housing ... I find that when using the internal flash for close-up stuff that a slight zoom often helps ameliorate that effect.

Thanks to Jeremy and all the guys on the Using Flickr thread, I have muddled my way through all the code and managed to embed this photo.

Yes I see what you mean about the uneven lighting, it is very obvious that the strobe is over on the left. I was hoping that this effect would be banished when I use an external strobe, but I will try a smidgen of zoom next time to see if this helps.

Great thread everyone.

 

I'm using an Oly SP-350 in all these shots and they are all in Hawaii. I very rarely use a flash. Also just recently bought a canon xti so as soon as i can afford a housing, it will be all wet!

Wow! These are nice pics for a P&S!

I do not claim any of these are great images..but I do agree you can get nice results with a point-n-shoot if you find the sweet spot for the lens. All these images where taken with a Canon Powershot SD700-IS housed in the Canon WP-DC5 case and only using the internal strobe.

 

tell me what you think

Wow and double wow. Not only are the pictures wonderful, but you just showed me a way to display my photos which seems to beat all others. That bananr album is incredibly fast in loading the pictures. Never saw anything like it before.

You will not experience this problem with an off-camera strobe ... but when you are using the internal flash for close-up stuff you gotta zoom just a smidge and then you get nice and even light.
