I guess for starters... I'd need a ziplock bag and my P&S... Will this cut-it for beginners if ever? :)

earl dont think so... based from the photos its seems to be too deep for the ziplock to be effective. i might be wrong though... lets hear it from the experts...

:D ha ha ha... It's my overblown wishful thinking my friend... I was under the impression that maybe it's possible at a certain depth... Pero muka ngang malalim... :D

Thanks for the responses everyone...fattens the heart really.

Neil - rig is a simple pns CANON A95, inon D2000w strobe and 105 WAL and UCL 165.

Earl - please don't even try it...there are available housings. Mahal nga lang po:Grin:

Levi - just a result of the photo workshop I took with Jon Aguirre (DPP member) last week with Mike Veitch (see his website www.bigblueimages.com (http://www.bigblueimages.com) ). So when, bro?:)


Joel - start of a downhill spiral for my bank account...thinking real hard when to house my Dslr. Thanks for the comment.

ps - Depth was 30 to 60 feet...

awesome work man!

ohhhhh... oo nga pala... the diving part also has it's own learning-curve. :D Well, atleast I can forget about the equipment part first and just concentrate on diving lessons instead...

UW photo eb anyone? :Grin:

@earl: don't try using a ziplock bag. there are less cruel ways to kill a camera.

i've said this before sir caloy...awesome blues!

Guys, scuba equipment are also expensive:).

To house a DSLR with Strobes, arms and tray I would need around $2,500. We're only talking about a hobby here...aruy..

@Jon - thanks pards...peaceful background, ain't it?

Poch - nah, simple "Samson" lang yan. I think the "sig" is just too dark (lower left side corner of the pic), this one has except its on the lower right corner.

Thanks guys!

Ian - try it so you'll have an idea how the other 2/3s of life on Earth lives...you'll forget everything lalo na ang mga utang:)

Chewy - same cert., photography and scuba is a great mix...I'm dreaming of getting a housing for my Dslr;)

Alan - about time you and Charm get one...No liveaboard for me this year, also am scheduled to dive at the end of September Sept 29-Oct 1 with Dennis Champ (a great photgrapher), of course with Divenet. Sama kayo!

Doy - I want to watch your fireworks display...thanks Doy.

Frank - hehe thanks, I got a very good instructor to teach me how to use it...I need quotations for Dslr housing..j/k

Excellent work, Caloy... great control of light! The only creatures more colorful than birds in our islands are our reef fish.
