Impressive sharpness/focus on your subjects Jon! thanks for sharing.

thanks jr. still a lot to learn though.

Jon,

Mind sharing what compact camera you used?

I was thinking of maybe getting an U/W case for my 350D.
Since the 350D's value plummeted, I've been thinking of getting the next iteration (if there will be) and dedicate my 350D for U/W pics.

Right now, I'm still using my old Canon S40.
It used to be at the top of its line, but right now, it's mostly towing it.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that you've got great pictures?
What makes it even more impressive is that you only used in-camera flash. Astig.
Do you dive in Anilao? If so, you may know my cousin, si Edmond Gozo.
Shokoy na siya ngayon, sa dalas niya mag-dive.

Maybe we could schedule an U/W shootfest? Hehehe.

thanks for the kind words rob. i'm using a canon a95 with a canon uw housing.

haven't met your cousin. we (caloy samson, me and carlo lopez) usually dive from aquaventure.

on the 350D, i've got a friend who uses the same camera for his uw pics...he's managed to shoot very impressive photos with the 350D.

uw shootfest? calling caloy, carlo, pocholo, etc. :Grin:

Jonix, sa Aqua kayo madalas? Then perhaps you know Chester Lee? Edmond Gozo is an instructor and when I was still diving a lot, we were mostly in aqua. Anyway, as for the shootfest - I'm willing to make a fool out of myself! Para lang maka shoot u/w! But the weather sucks!

yup we stay at aqua most of the time. probably met them but am too good with names :Grin:

maybe sometime november pag medyo ok na ang weather.

we will be there next weekend (caloy & i that is).

very nice pics considering no strobes

Love that last pic which looked like two polka-dotted shrimp something.
cheers,
