Sun Dancer 2 Belize trip

Hello all,

Well thanks to scorpio_fish I finally put one of my Nikon's in a housing and walked away from the point and shoot. The Sun Dancer 2 was a great place to put it through its paces. Still a lot to learn obviously but here is my first swing. C & C is appreciated.

Trip highlights included some new nudis for me, a viper eel, a crazy goatee blenny, and beautiful walls and corals.

Well if thats your first time with a DSLR underwater then you have done extremely well. The images look nice and sharp, no signs of excessive backscatter and somne nice compositions.

Keep up the good work

Great work! I like the WA shots.

Cheers

Fantastic!

Glad the housing worked OK. I always worry that something I sell doesn't work as advertised.

Thanks everyone. I think George may have left some of his talent sprinkled on the housing... I used the 10.5mm, the 16mm and the 60mm macro. My new strobes didn't arrive in time so Captain Simon actually borrowed a pair of DS 160's from the aggressor for me. One of which flooded. Hooo boy. I also had to make do without any focus gears but I found it fairly easy to switch in and out of auto mode when needed. Now I have to wait till December for the next try.

Speaking of photos George, how were the whales?

I should mention that the boat and hammock shots are taken with the GF1.

Sadly, I did not make the trip. I had to cancel the day before my departure.

Drat! Sorry to hear that. Thanks again for the patient transaction. It's opened a new chapter for me. Hope you get to see some whales before long.
