beivied said:can i hijack this thread and put my photos for the same trip here or not?? ;p
anyway, for the standing nudi, we took quite a few shots of it, i also took some. this is the "tallest" shot la, haha. and one of my shots, there were a bit of green shades on the butt of the nudi, will post later in the day (if i can).
for the squid shot, what setting would you c5050 guys recommend, given that I HAVE NO STROBE k ... too bad i didnt get to try, cos on this trip i had to lead the divers for the night dive...
well, for those with strobes or dslr, would definitely find f/8.0 too little, but i guess we can only make do, and try to find the best settings. given the situation that night, i think it would have been ok if you tried to edge closer, but quite obvious they were already jittery from the swamp of black huge ugly fishes with bright lights...siaoon said:yeah.. no prob loh..
hmm thinking maybe i need to go in nearer.. (*was at least 1.5m away.. :sweat: ) afraid i might juz scare it away if i go nearer..
maybe next time i shld try to get closer so that more lights can fall on them..
as for C5050 with max aperture of F8.. think quite hard to get a clear pic without strobe i think... EXPERTs.. correct me if i'm wrong...

Compared to the C-5050, DSLR can go all te way to F32, but it is at least 2 times the price of a C-5050.
Still the same words, shoot within the capability of the system, just like there is ntg I can do if a whale swam by and I have my macro lens on.
Waisj has some decent shots, esp the pgymies, which I couldn't replicate on our trip. He could also just easily stack the macro lens up if need be.
Get the cam, the housing, the add on lens, the strobe, then another strobe, then a backup camera system......u know the routine. u already know what u need next, so stop whining and start saving. :bsmilie:
Or rent from me, cheap cheap. Rent one, get two free. Who knows, I may get new equipment. Ask DTan. :bsmilie:

i am not siaoon, but i guess i can answer that, haha. the original pic could almost only see the eyes of the squid facing the camera. he used PS to push it out. i quite like it, though it would be fantastic if the eyes could be sharper. i like the elusive effect. send in for uwcs photography contest??? :think:DTan said:siaoon,
the pic titled "buddies in combat"
is that pic as it is & no ps done? looks very artistic and has a 3D effect to it. like some graphics. very dark looking. well captured.
