Ben,

I agree with you that there are many beautiful photos posted here, and this shows us what photographers really can do regardless of the brand of the camera. Unlike what some people may think, a photo club is not meant for collectors or adding equipment but it is mostly to share experiences in photography. The FD line is certainly "professional quality" or whatever they may call it.

This is a photo of divers approaching a large, resident ling cod at

Edmonds Underwater Park in Edmonds, Washington. This park

has seen no spearguns for over 25 years. Camera, a Canon

F-1N with Speedfinder, 24mm lens in an Ikelite housing, behind

a dome port. Strobe fill was with a small Ikelite MS strobe. Lens

was at f-5.6, shutter speed at 1/8th second.

Ray,

 

Thank you for showing me how to do this. I'm at my allotment for

images right now, so maybe I should sign up for a portfolio.

 

This image is of a ling cod, taken on the same dive, and again at

a slow shutter speed (1/8th second). Because it is slower, and

because I startled it just as the image was being made, there is

a great blur when the fish quickly swam away. I like this kind of

image, but you never know what it will look like until the slides

come back. All these were Fuji Valvia, I believe, at ISO 100

speed. I like Fuji better for my underwater photography because

of the vividness of the colors; underwater photos loose contrast

quickly, and the film does make a difference. Becaus this photo

was taken close (about 4 feet away from the fish), the flash

image fully defines the fish. The explosiveness of it's retreat

then shows only as the blur, which shows the swimming motion.
