I added a a dozen or so Bonaire pictures, I hope you like them.

Bonaire

Great gallery, I likes most the eel and the 'Spotted Cleaner Shrimps'

The negative space in the chain moray is amazing. Excellent composition!

I'm a little disappointed in the saturation of the eel itself - kind of washed out where it should be bright yellow. What lens were you shooting - a long macro might explain it.

I like the moray too! Excellent use of the Tubastrea as secondary subject/background. I agree with Kasey that the eel is a bit hot - but easily fixable and doesn't really detract anyway.

What strobe(s) were you using?

How was the camera to use in the water?

Chris...........the enlarged photos have unbelievable clarity..............very nice exposures............is this the 10D or D60?

Karl

Very nice photos!!

What lens were you using UW?

Thanks

All of the Bonaire pictures were shot with the 10D in a UK Germany D30 housing with dual IKE DS 125s. Most of the pictures (Eel included) were shot with a Canon 100mm Macro Lens. This was my first deep water test with the housing and the 10D and it worked perfectly.

The only issue I had (I discovered prior to leaving) was that the hotshoe was not tight enough. I used some Felt tape (Thank you Troy Lamay) and that worked wonderfully. On exception I did have one set of pictures that corrupted but I could not duplicate this after it occurred. The files were dated in 2049 and named in all Japanese characters. I couldn’t even format the card in the laptop and the camera showed “Corrupt Data” when I tried to review them. The camera could however format the card.

I shot with the 15mm Sigma fisheye, 15-35 3.5 Sigma and the Canon 100mm Macro. I also played with the 50mm 1.8 Canon lens and extension tubes but had unfavorable focusing.

Overall I was very happy with the camera and the housing.
