#PIC 7
Nudis mating
(Looks like they are sword fighting)
My wish is to take photos of them laying eggs.

[lanxx]

#PIC 8
Nudis mating again!
(count how many of them are there??)
Shot is slightly overexposed. Very strong ambient light at Chebeh(Tioman), despite at ard 25m, cannot tune down the strobe anymore and increase the shutter speed. Vis that day, easily 25m

#PIC 9
Baby moray
(very small moray, head length maybe around 7-8 cm, see how young it looks?)
Looks damn cute, felt like 'ta pao' home

Nudibranch
(Again, lazy to find the name)

[lanxx]

do you dial down your flash intensity?
at F6.3 i will be using -0.7 already, since i find 0 is a bit too hot. adn will dialing to down as my F-stops gets smaller/bigger aperture.

how do you go about underwater photography? what do you need? a waterproof cam like the 1 series cam or get a waterproof casing?

Actually before you go about underwater photography, you will need to get Diving Certificate, from agencies like PADI, NAUI, SSI, BSAC, SDI ..etc.

After that my recommendation would be to clock more dives, so that you are comfortable underwater, at the same time, fine tune your bouyancy, which is important for taking underwater photographs.

Once you feel that yuo are ready, proceed to the purchase of a Underwater Housing and the respective camera.

Then if you want to, Strobes and arm systems and such.

hope that helped
Cheers

in the meantime, stay tuned on UWCS ^_^ you should learn quite some basics and theory that will help when you are ready to wet your camera (in housing) i know i learn a lot from people like waisj, laxx and kng so far... lots more to learn from the rest! kthan and scotsman next on the list
