3 New Friends @ Peacock 1

[Alan Owens]

I took some photos of a team of three comming into P1 while I was playing with new camera setup on 03-17-07.
I posted the results in my photo gallery for their download pleasure.
I don't know their names so it is up to them to find this.

Nice shots Alan. WA lens and two strobes or one?
What kind of camera and housing?

This was the first day I had any strobes. I had played with it in open h2o but no strobes.
Nikon CP5000, L&M Tetra 5000 housing, one Ikelite DS125, and One Dive Rite 10 Watt HID on the other arm.
I'm just learning and already want another strobe to use as slave to add depth to the images.
I'll keep trying.

And Wetmate lens adapter w/ wideangle lens. Bought used would have to look it up to give you the specs on lens.

Now that I think about it the camera and housing are not new, it just took a while to get all this together. The strobe is the latest addition and was the missing piece. I still need slave stobes to get where I want to be.

Alan.
I know the feeling on trying to get everything you need. I just have the housing and camera at this point and hopefully soon will have a WA lens. I also plan on a D-125 and then later on the slave strobes that seem to work well for others. I've heard a few folks make their own slave strobes with water proof clear boxes and topwater strobes but I not seen them in person. Light is your friend. I know I'd love to take shots in the Court Yard with a lot of light. I've not seen much taken in that area. While it would be a pain to get the setup there, it would be a great place to photograph.

How did your shoulder hold up? I hope it's okay so you come to dive more often now, I may need more pictures for the trail.
