New to dSLR - EOS 350D shots

Did my first Red Sea trip at the start of June (out of Marsa Alam), few pics here and keen for feedback,

I just upgraded from a Coolpix 5000 to a Canon EOS 350D and an Ikelite housing, in fact only got the housing (Thanks Ike and Tom at Marine Camera Dist), the day before I left for Egypt.

Used eTTL for both my DS-125's and happy with its performance. Simple for a non techo photog like me to use and gave accurate exposure.

Also surprised at how easy the Eyepiece usage was, definitely feel I was getting improved composition using it over an LCD.

Lens were Canon 10-22 and Sigma 50mm macro............the Dolphin shots are with the Sigma! Awesome lens.

Had the 6 inch Ike dome for the 10-22 but will now get the 8 inch. I didn't want to start with the 8 inch, I was worried about scratching and damaging it, but edge softness with the 6 inch and the lens at 10mm, is quite apparent.

Great to see the new Ikelite L piece for the sync cord, took me a few days to get it through to the deckhands not to put the camera down on the cord.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Cheers,

Great work Aengus!

I really like the "School" and "St Johns Cave Reef Anen" and the barra shot is a bloody winner!! What a catch.

Thanks for posting.

Nice job! I love the first lion fish and the closeup of the eel. I'm really impressed with your Canon 350 pics. Good choice. They look alot sharper than Canon 300 pics.

That's a great collection of shots for your first time out with a DSLR. Well done!

Picture number 5 (2 dolfins) is so cute!!!! I love it! Pic n. 23 is very good too, that ones and 48, 53 and 58 are the ones I liked the most.

Congratulations, you have a really nice collection
