Member Introductions

Diving, Diving, Diving!!! Hi all. I am Andy and I have been diving for 10 years with over 500 dives. We just got back from the Corn Islands in Nicaragua. It wasnt too bad at all. I look forward to being a productive member on wetpixel!

Hello,

I'm from Toulouse France.

As a hobby I'm trainer in marine biology for divers.

I'm crazy about shrimps & nudibranch.

~60 dives per year between Asia (Lembeh, Anilao, Raja Ampat), Maldives (Amis des maldives), Bonaire, Mediteranee (Banyuls, Llanca, Medes, Marseille, Malta) , Egypte.

I started photography 5 years ago with S100 in recsea housing & no flash.

After 1 year: 1 flash (YS-01)

After 2 years: 2 flashs (2xYS-01) + G7x in recsea.

After 3 years: CMC1 macro wet lens

I'm thinking about switching to mirrorless like futur GX9.

Perhaps Nauticam housing + 60mm macro + 8mm?

I already read plenty of topics on this forum so thanks a lot!

Hi, I'm PT Hirschfield from Pink Tank Scuba (FB, Instagram, YouTube and www.pinktankscuba.com)

I take marine life portraits, marine animal behaviour videos and write a monthly column for Dive Log Australasia.

I dive most days of the week and a dive can be anything from 2-4 hours long - generally my camera battery runs out before my air does.

I have OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Diving.

Hi ! Brian here, from North Texas. I've been diving since 2002, had many point and shoot cameras over the years, now shooting OMD EM-5. Recently retired, hoping to improve my UW photo skills on as many dive trips as I can afford ! Cheers !

Hello everyone!

My name is Dania, I am portuguese, and I did my Dive Master in Australia as a underwater photographer. In total i worked there for 10 months and I was using a Canon 70D. now I will start to work as a freelancer, and I was wandering about which camera to buy. I have a Canon 100D, and my plan was to get a housing for it (since it's very light, and I do travel a lot). do you think that that would be enough, or would you recommend me to upgrade to something else? I welcome all your suggestions (even though probably I cannot afford a full frame, and it would be too heavy anyways!)

Thank you so much!

Dania

Hi all!

My name is Stefan, and i am from Denmark.

I am a beginner at photography and videography.

I am looking for the right equipment to replace my existing. And i dont understand why all brands focus on 4K video when 2.7K look very good on a 4K TV.

The price is the frame rate 30fps is too slow, with 2.7K it should be possible with rodays equipment to record with 60fps

Well i will look for answers other places in this forum

Dive safe.

Stefan
