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.
