Be gentle
Most pictures were lit with a UK Light Cannon









First pictures I have got out of my Olympus 8080
Next week Normandy so hopefully lots more practice

That's not a bad over and under shot you have there - these can be very difficult so well done. Very clean line and no water on the top part. A diver under the surface would have made it an excellent pic.

This might be a daft question, but how are you getting the framing effect in the last two shots? Can you rotate the lobbie shot through 90dgress clockwise?

All in all I'd say a good result from the first time out.

How do you find handling the housing for the 8080 - the ones I've seen look really big.

You should also try using custom white balance and see the result that that gives. At shallower depths it can be really impressive and doesn't need a torch or strobe.

Thankyou for your comments.

Next time i will try an get a diver in the picture as well.
Not bad for a first shot I thought.
The next shot was all under due to a wave, no up in sight!

The framming is probably due to my buddy using there UK Light Cannon from a different angle to the one I took the poicture from. I think thats it any way!

The housing is big but as probably all housings once in the water its not to bad.
Will be a lot easy to use when the water warms up and i can get away with thinner gloves. The buttons are not designed for cold water gloves.

I have a week in Normandy diving next week so i will try the custom white balance.

Keep up the good work.
