Later in the evening after dinner, I had a chance to look through the photos I had taken for the day and decided to make some adjustments to my underwater camera system. The lens and port combination I’d been using just wasn’t quite working for me and it seemed as though I was missing a lot of shots because I wasn’t using a macro setup. On the other hand I knew that if I put a macro lens and port on my camera I would probably be chased around the whole dive by a Whale Shark. The problem with a digital SLR rig is that you can’t change lenses underwater, so what you jump in with is what you have for the entire dive, like it or not! The solution… well there really isn’t one. I decided to go with a Nikkor 18-70mm Zoom Lens with a +4 close-up adaptor to sharpen the edges of the image. This would allow me the ability of wide angle if I needed it and would also let me get close-ups of the small stuff. Stay tuned for the results tomorrow!

Here are some photos for ‘Christines’ and ‘Half Pipe’… Enjoy!
