Ambon muck with 8mm wide angle (GH4 CFWA)

Hi everyone,

I spent a week in Ambon and did most of my diving with wide angle lens.

Here are some of the keepers, equipment used:

GH4, Nauticam housing, 2x INON S2000, 8mm Fisheye and Nauticam 3.5" mini dome.

Most photos are snooted, some are cropped slightly.

Cheers!

Xander

Very nice!

Is this (https://flic.kr/p/qgDczL) a black frogfish? Looks amazing.

Hi I appreciate your sharing of the Ambon pictures. The objects are nice but look like cropped and underexposed.

And there seems to be something wrong with the pictures that I dont fully understand. First, why did you use a snoot with a fish eye lense? Thats for macro. Second, the background is dark and unsharp. What were your shutter speed,aperture and strobe settings?

Good luck! Albert

Thanks people!

Albert,

I will try to explain so you maybe can understand my pictures:

The underexposure is how I meant to take the photos, it is how I like it.

Same with the 'unsharp background'.

I like to have no rules taking photos, it is difficult enough to try to take a different photo then everyone else.

So for me to think 'snoot is for macro only' is dumb! Not a good mind state as a photographer.

Some of the images are slightly cropped, which I mentioned in my post at the start.

OK it was just a friendly comment, go ahead and enjoy! -;
