Equipment and Workflow
Most of the photographs
in the galleries
were taken with a Canon digital SLR camera in an Ikelite underwater 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.
During a May 2011 trip to Belize, I'll be using a Canon 7D in an Ikelite
housing with Ikelite DS-125 and DS-160 strobes. For night diving I'm
planning to use a Light and Motion SOLA Photo 500 Lumen framing light.
The photographic styles represented here illustrate macro, close-up,
portrait, and wide-angle.
For macro and close-up shots I generally use 50mm, 60mm, 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.
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.
Most of the shots that were illuminated by a strobe were taken with the aperature set to
f11, shutter speed set to 1/60th of a second, and ISO set to 100.
I capture most images using digital raw format. I use Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 to process
the raw files.
