Images of the bigger creatures, or seascapes.

I use a 28mm prime lens, and can add an Ultra Wide or Fisheye adpater, for wider fields of view.

A Corrective Dome Port is required on the underwater housing to prevent distortion of the outer edges of the image.

Two or more Strobes set wide apart provide the lighting.

I use a 50mm lens for portraits.

It works well with Turtles or larger fish such as groupers, small sharks or eels.

Images of smaller fish in their habitat also works well with this lens.

A flat window port with two strobes set at medium spread are employed.

Macro images require a lens that can be placed close to a small subject.

I employ a 90mm lens whch can be placed as close as 17cm. This helps fill the frame.

Creatures under 50mm in size fit this category.

Shrimp’s, Nudibranch’s and Small bottom dwelling fish are popular with macro photographers.

A flat port dome is used, along with either a single or dual strobe for lighting.

If the creature sits still for long enough, a light shaping device such as a snoot (or spotlight) can be used for creative effect.

Fast becoming my favourite form of Underwater Photography.

The Super Macro Category is for those creatures under 5mm.

I employ a 90mm lens, and either a +5 or +15 close up wet lens.

This allows the camera to be placed extremely close to the subject so you can fill the frame with the tiniest creatures.

Tiny Nudibranch’s, Crab’s, Shrimp’s and Seahorse’s are popular with Super Macro photographers.

A flat port dome is used, along with either a single or dual strobe for lighting.
