Hi all,

I'm Jeff. I've been diving since 1984 and taking pictures all the time, first with a Nikonos 5 with one strobe, then Olympus 350 with one strobe a la Kathy Church, then I simplified to Canon G12 with on board flash only but I flooded it the first day on Little Cayman a few months ago. Replaced with Canon G16 with Fantasea FG16 housing and have now added back two strobes after a recent trip to Kasai Village in the Phillipines (definitely check this place out - It's fantastic for the serious diver/photographer). My favorite is macro and I'm practicing on land with the new rig, looking for any/all the advice I can get.

Hi, Stephen from Los Angeles, CA. I've been snorkeling/freediving with a small compact (G10) for around 4 years, and have been certified PADI for around 2 years (though not many dives with the camera yet). I'm a massive lurker and don't post much, but appreciate all the info on the board!

Hi !

I am Stefan, living in Germany and I am diving since 20 years.

I started in 2007 with my first digital camera a Nikon D-200 in a Sea&Sea housing.

Being apart some years of diving I changed t a Nikon D3x in a Sea&Sea Housing in

autumn 2013. In February 2014 I have been on the "Boot 2013" in Düsseldorf and

changed my whole system to Seacam, inspired by Kurt Amsler.

Kurt told me that he is doing UW-Photoworkshops in South-France and I decided

to start serious UW-Photography and booked his workshops.

No I am trying to get better and better photos.........

I am happy about any comments on postings as long as they are helping me to improve my work.

Ciao, Stefan

Hello,

I'm new to wetpixel, which was suggested by a marine biologist in the Boulder area. I have some great equipment I'm trying to sell and he said this would be a great place to look and find help.

Hello everyone.

I'm looking to connect with other dive-photographers in hopes of learning more about it all. I'm looking to discuss more of the underwater cameras, but of course in the better appropriate area of the forum.

Thanks!

Hi New member.

Located in california, just starting to get more into underwater photography. I am purchasing a m43 system and selling my old dslr system. Too big to use underwater. But I look forward to getting lots of tips from you all.

Hello Fellow Bubblers,

I'm David from Seattle.

I'm looking for a pair of used video lights. Preferably 2k or above. Solas or Fixx would be ideal but I am open to other suggestions.

Thanks.
