Very nice lighting results. what white balance setting to you use?

I meant to talk to you about that light you make when we dove last week. But, i forgot coz i had other urgent matters in mind....like getting warm!

yeah, must have been put there within the last month or two. Don't know if the glass edges are sharp or not....im not going to use my dry gloves to test. They're located at the bottom of the drop off, approximately straight out from the volley ball net.

went out to Sunnyside to troubleshoot the ttl mode on my ikelite setup. found these (2) interesting bottle artificial reefs...

probably wont ever use this anymore. all works, no leaks. $150

best pics of candy stripe shrimp i've seen !

Was going to dive Les Davis Monday morning but decided not to try, being the water look like chocolate milk. Went out to Fox Island West Wall instead and the vis was typical, ~15ft. Saw some giant nudibranchs at the wall and a lumpsucker where the eel grass used to be.

What's the wind predictions for this Saturday (or Sunday for that matter). Tides look real good for a Keystone trip!

yeah, one of my DS-51 did the exact same thing Janna. Until finally it bit the dust and wouldn't even power up. Lucky for me it was still under warrenty and i returned it to Ikelite for repair. They replace the control board inside. Got it back within 2 weeks..pretty happy with my first experience w...

....or taunting him?

BOOOoooooooaaaaaaahhhhh!!

please don't call it the Tacoma Pooper Pipeline

last week of Oct. is good...http://www.dairiki.org/tides/daily.php/adm/2010-10-26

so jealous here....i've yet to see a Cockerel's dorid

Great pic of a siphonophore. I've seen them only twice and each time had a heck of a time to get good focus of them floating in open water.

I use PNY SDHC 4Gb in these cameras with no problem and have used the camera's formatting, no problem. You may want to try a different brand of SD card.

made a snoot and took it out to octopus hole. here's some of the better shots...before and after a little photoshoppin'

Thought this was the biggest Roughback Sculpin I've ever seen...then ID'd it as a Spotfin when I got home. He was pretty content to sit and let me photograph him....as was the Squat Lobster.

Currents can be very strong in the Strait. Timing would be critical with this weekend exchanges. Salt Creek has a very rocky entrance/exit. The times I've dove there I had to surface to get a compass reading for the exit. I've read others have used rope/string as a guide from the exit through the ke...

olyvtx, I'm still so jealous that you found that king crab ! :) those look great! I would say when it comes to UW photography....Finding the critters is the hard part (for me anyways). It amazes me how guys like Jan find the critters...then capture in picture them doing some incredible things. Nice...

Good job on your first pics!! You're pics will just continue to get better as you learn that camera.

Here's the first pics from my new UW camera ....

contact me via olyvtx@yahoo.com or PM message if you're serious

Need to sale this rig. Reduced.....$425 Camera, housing and strobe.

The pic u posted looks like only the camera's internal flash was "sync'd" to the exposure. Your external flash unit should have some switch to select what "pre-flash" your camera uses in Av mode. In Av mode (Tv, auto or program modes as well) your camera uses pre-flashes before ...
