Charlie

Equipment and Workflow

 

Most of the photographs in the galleries were taken with a Canon digital SLR camera in an Ikelite housing, using Ikelite DS-50 and/or DS-125 strobes. Some of the photographs were taken with a Nikonos V amphibious camera, SB-105 strobe, and Fugichrome Velvia 50 slide film.

The photographic styles represented here illustrate macro, close-up, portrait, and wide-angle photography.

For macro and close-up shots I generally use 50mm, 70mm, and 100mm lenses. Although some of the close-up shots were taken with a close-up lens and wire framer on the Nikonos V system.

My favorite portrait lens is the Canon 50mm. I tend to use it more than any other lens.

For underwater wide angle photography, a difficult art form I have yet to master, I use either a Canon 15mm fisheye lens, or a Nikonos 15mm wide-angle lens.

The film speed I use most frequently is ISO 100. In low light situations, I'll use a higher ISO setting, usually 200 or 400.

I capture images using digital raw format. I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Lightroom to process the raw files.
