Video of Wreck Diving at Night - Canon 7D, Sola 1200 (3)

Once again my brother and I were out at the wrecks in Tobermory, Ontario. This time it was a bit warmer (7 Celsius) and a good opportunity to try my three new Sola 1200 light with the 7D at night. I still need to work on the light spread to cover most of the Tokina 10-17 range and the balance of the rig has changed, but overall I was quite impressed with them - especially for their size. The spiny fleas, on the other hand, loved them.

Is there any life in these lakes? No growth, just perfectly conserved wrecks? :-(

uwxplorer, the shallower regions (at least) of Lake Huron have been decimated by zebra mussels resulting in very clear water but very little plant life. On these night dives, however, a few bait balls of minnows emerged and about a dozen healthy and curious lake trout were with us in and around the wreck. On the downside, another invasive specie, the spiny flea was out in force and schooled up whenever the lights were on making clear shooting impossible.

Nice, what was your ISO set to?

Thanks Steve, ISO was predominantly set at 640.

Gee looks pretty dark down there, how deep?

You need a set of 4000 :-)

It was scary deep, Wagsy - I think if my brother stood on the fantail of the wreck and I stood on his head, I'd break the surface!

Quite happy with the Sola 1200's but would love to try the 4000's.

You were just down the street from my place when you shot this!
