What's the most practically-priced (balance between functionality, design, & price) housing for either the D70 or D200?

A Sea & Sea or an Aquatica...

OMG Caloy!!! :) Does that thing shoot Laser Beams?!?! :D hehehehehehe

Seriously... Nice underwater gear Bro. Come to think of it P&S palang yan... Ayyyyy gastos... :Grin:

... Ayyyyy gastos... :Grin:

so true Bro:D I need to sell some of my body parts to pay off for the Dslr housing, extra strobe and arms. My recent purchases just busted my bank account. Tsk tsk and we call it just a hobby?!

I also do fish portraits...sometimes. A sample;)

Or, can I borrow or rent it? Am going to Dauin on Jan 4-8. :Grin:

I read tips on SB about dive sites to go to, your suggestion will also be welcome.

Did you get the D80 yet?

Caloy, I like this one — very balanced lighting. And looks delicious too. =B)

hahahaha, how true indeed:Grin: what housing are you going to get for the d200 caloy?:D if only patima would make a housing for this:( but i heard they wil be making a housing for the d80 this year

No, the D200 stays topside. I'll probably get the aquatica housing for the D70s since the macro or wide angle port is already included in the package. I already have the lens, 12-24 and 105mm.

Thanks Norman, itlog maalat ata yan.

nice shots!!!i am a frustrated scuba diver ...mom never allowed me before ...hmm...do you need to be certified to take underwater photos???guess so huh???caloy..is there a short session that i can go to dive and take photos at the same time???...i only know about the nikon school of underwater photography...but it cost $1,600 for six days is that worth it???...sorry to many questions...i am a new born child in photography especially slr once...oh well...i love your underwater photos!!!great piece of art!!!...can you give me some tips or advices??? thanks in advance ....hope i can do the same one day....

hmm...do you need to be certified to take underwater photos???You first need to be a certified diver. Next, when you are proficient enough with your diving skills, then thats the time to add photography. Underwater photography is a bit harder than topside for there is a lot of things to consider.

Sir Caloy,

First time i saw your thread colorful! thanks for the tips and the PM's!

Regards,

Joel

I thought this thread was already history...

Gurney, thanks for replying to Bingle. Your statement is very true....

Bingle, there's a man in the Island of Yap (Micronesia) his name is Mike Veitch and he teaches underwater photography. He taught me the basics of Topside photography and the underwater aspect of it. He does it for a living. Thanks for viewing and the comments.

Check out his website http://bigblueimages.com/


Sir Joel, hey thanks, my turf is so far away from the rail road tracks:D

Hi Norman,

Caloy's photo of a bubble coral is certainly unusual, but if you know what I know about corals, your appetite would quickly dissipate. Those roundish brown stuff on those bubbles are actually parasites that feed-off the mucous on the surface of marine animals. :( In short, that lovely piece of coral is someone else' lunch!

Still, its presence make this photo stand-out from the myriad of ordinary bubble coral photos out there.

Jerry, you do NOT want an answer to that question! :D

Many nice shots on your flickr site.

thanks Bobby....and yes them bubble corals is not your usual edible mix shashimi plate stuff :)

sheesh!!! i love your photos man!

makes one really want to drive to batangas and do a couple of dives.

solid work caloy!!

thanks Bobby....and yes them bubble corals is not your usual edible mix shashimi plate stuff :)

heheh...in fact, bubble corals have one of the most powerful stings of any large-polyp coral, more painful than the pretty brown Ancora in your other photo.

Your flickr photos showing several forms of symbiotic undersea animals are pretty cool too, I thought they looked like cover material, you should share them here too. Good work. Thanks.

Just incase you have no idea about the cost, for that camera,you'll probably spend atleast :Scared:6 digits of moolah (175k-250k).:Shock:

Jerry, you do NOT want an answer to that question! :D

I just had to laugh at that one... good one Bobby!:Grin:

Great stuff Caloy. Sorry I won't see you & the Mrs. next month when you're in Anilao.

no worries, Mike. I'm sure we'll get to dive with the pasaways before the year is out.

Enjoyable shots. Good work.
